Comparison of Simultaneous Endotracheal Tube Insertion With GlideScope Use: a Pilot Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 50 (actual)
• Sponsor: London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's · Academic / Other

Summary

Patients presenting for elective surgery requiring orotracheal intubation will be randomized to having the ETT inserted into the pharynx simultaneous to GlideScope insertion and then having the ETT advanced under GlideScope guidance into the trachea, or, being intubated in the more common fashion with the GlideScope being inserted first and having the ETT then advanced via the pharynx into the trachea.

Detailed description

Patients presenting for elective surgery requiring orotracheal intubation will be randomized to having the ETT inserted into the pharynx simultaneous to GlideScope insertion and then having the ETT advanced under GlideScope guidance into the trachea, or, being intubated in the more common fashion with the GlideScope being inserted first and having the ETT then advanced via the pharynx into the trachea. The primary outcome is time to intubation. Secondary outcomes include: 1) Ease of intubation as noted by operator (measured on a 10-cm Visual Analogue Scale) 2) Number of intubation attempts 3) Number of failures to intubate 4) Use of external laryngeal pressure 5) Laryngoscopic grade distribution

Conditions

• Intubation
• Videolaryngoscopy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Simultaneous Intubation	Intubation with GlideScope and ETT inserted simultaneously
PROCEDURE	Standard Intubation	Intubation with GlideScope inserted first and ETT insertion after the GlideScope view is obtained
