About this study

A prior G-power analysis was done to estimate the sample size. The primary outcome of this study was the first trial success rate. Using fibre exact test and assuming alpha (type I error) = 0.05 and beta (type II error) = 0.2 (power =80%), 58 patients per group would be sufficient to detect a difference 10 % in success rate among the groups. A drop out 10% of cases was expected; therefore 63 patients were required in each group to detect the difference.

Treatment and study plan

Blind tracheal intubation through AirQ

Procedure

underwent blind intubation with correction manoeuvres

Fiberscopic tracheal intubation through AirQ

Procedure

: underwent fibreoptic guided intubation

Primary outcomes

  1. The first trial success rate

    Time frame: during first trial of intubation procedure

    percentage of cases of successful tracheal intubation during the first trial

Secondary outcomes

  1. The total success rate

    Time frame: from beginning of manipulation of the endotracheal tube till end of second trial either by successful intubation or failed intubation procedure

    percentage of cases underwent successful tracheal intubation during either first or second trial

  2. Time to ventilation

    Time frame: procedure (Time from beginning of air-Q insertion till full capno-graphic wave)

    time needed to get full capno-graphic waves through connection of air Q to breathing circuit

  3. Time to intubation

    Time frame: procedure (Time from beginning of manipulation of the ETT till full capno-graphic wave)

    time needed to get full capno-graphic waves through connection of endotracheal tube to breathing circuit

  4. Heart rate

    Time frame: After induction of anesthesia till 10 minutes after intubation

  5. Mean arterial blood pressure

    Time frame: After induction of anesthesia till 10 minutes after intubation

  6. blood staining of the device

    Time frame: from extubation till 24 hours after extubation

  7. post-intubation croup

    Time frame: from extubation till 24 hours after extubation

  8. hoarsenes

    Time frame: from extubation till 24 hours after extubation

    and its grade if present Grades of hoarseness: 1=non, 2= mild, 3= moderate, 4= severe)
