Comparison of the Intubation Condition Between Two Different Types of Video Laryngoscope Blades

The present study compares two different types of videolaryngoscope blade, which is a channeled and non-channeled blade. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of the type of videolaryngoscope blade on the intubation condition.

About this study

In tracheal intubation for general anesthesia, one of the two types of the blade during a video laryngoscopy can be used, one is a channeled blade that has a channel for tracheal tube launching, the other is a non-channeled blade. In the present study, the outcomes by using two types of the videolaryngoscope blade such as the intubation condition, intubation time, first-pass rate, and the incidence of intubation-related complications were compared.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients receiving tracheal intubation for general anesthesia
  • Patients with physical status 1, 2, or 3 by American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status.

Exclusion criteria

  • Body mass index <18.5 kg/m2 or >35 kg/m2
  • Patients with a history of airway surgery
  • Patients with increased risk of aspiration
  • Patients who have any pathology (polyp, tumor, or inflammation) in the upper airway and larynx

Treatment and study plan

Channeled blade

Device

In the present group, a tracheal tube was launched in the channel of the blade before tracheal intubation

Non-channeled blade

Device

In the present group, a tracheal tube was not launched in the videolaryngoscope blade before tracheal intubation

Primary outcomes

  1. Intubation time

    Time frame: Immediately after tracheal intubation completed

    the time for tracheal intubation

Secondary outcomes

  1. First-pass rate

    Time frame: Immediately after tracheal intubation completed

    the success rate of tracheal intubation with one attempt

  2. Intubation-related complications

    Time frame: within 24 hours after surgery

    the incidence of overall complications related with tracheal intubation
