Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a clinically relevant difference in first attempt success rates between the Ambu King Vision Video Laryngoscope and Direct Laryngoscopy in Children.

Detailed description

The goal of this prospective randomized study is to compare whether there is a clinically relevant difference in the rate of first attempt successful intubation between the Ambu King Vision Video Laryngoscope and direct laryngoscopy using the Miller Blade Laryngoscope. Other parameters of clinical relevance such as grade of laryngeal view, percentage of glottic opening, number of insertion attempts, time for successful tracheal intubation, and complications will also be assessed.

Conditions

• Tracheal Intubation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Ambu King Vision Video Laryngoscope aBlade	At time of tracheal intubation, the subject will be intubated using the Ambu King Vision Video Laryngoscope with the appropriately sized Ambu aBlade System based on manufacturer guidelines and clinical judgement. The first attempt to successful intubation will be assessed. The Cormack Lehane and Percentage of Glottic Opening scores will be recorded via direct vision. Information on subsequent attempts, time to successful intubation, and ease of tracheal tube insertion will be assessed.
DEVICE	Direct Laryngoscopy via Miller Straight Blade	At time of tracheal intubation, the subject will be intubated via direct laryngoscopy using a straight laryngoscope blade, based on manufacturer guidelines and clinical judgement. The first attempt to successful intubation will be assessed. The Cormack Lehane and Percentage of Glottic Opening scores will be recorded via direct vision. Information on subsequent attempts, time to successful intubation, and ease of tracheal tube insertion will be assessed.
