Summary

This study aims to train an AI for video-directed endotracheal intubation (VITION) to recognise the anatomical structures of the upper airway during video-directed endotracheal intubations.

Detailed description

Study design The VITION study protocol describes the design of a prospective, observational study. Inclusion will commence in 2023 at the anesthesia and intensive care departments in the Capital Region of Denmark. Participants Patients across all ages are eligible for inclusion if they are undergoing video-directed oral or nasal endotracheal intubation. Exclusion criteria Patients are excluded if they adhere to one of the exclusion criteria: * Upper airway malformations (e.g., laryngomalacia, vocal cord paralysis, and subglottic stenosis17,18). * Failed attempt by video laryngoscopy due to malfunctioning equipment. * Missing or corrupted video recording. * Informed consent is not obtained from the participants or participants' parents / legal guardians. Interventions and comparisons This prospective, observational study will have no interventions or comparisons. Primary objective The primary objective is to characterize anatomical landmarks and performances of intubations in a large and diverse pool of clinicians and patients.

Conditions

• Intubation Complication
• Intubation; Difficult or Failed

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Video-directed endotracheal intubation	There will be no intervention in this prospective observational cohort study. Endotracheal intubation is already used to secure the airway by placing an endotracheal tube into the trachea via the oral or nasal route. Indications include the need for airway control during general anaesthesia, mechanical ventilation, resuscitation, and various forms of acute respiratory distress.
