Teleguidance-facilitated Airway Management

The advent of telemedicine has introduced teleguidance as a promising support to enhance endotracheal intubation skills among inexperienced operators. Several studies showed the effectiveness of supervisor assisted ETI using the various VL devices and commercial videoconferencing softwares. However, recent developments in VL technologies introduced the VL integrated videoconferencing features for this purpose. Scoper VL device (Technomedicare Inc, Turkiye) developed a real-time teleconsultation feature for difficult airway scenarios to be assisted by experts during the procedure. However, the literature is very limited about the effectiveness and feasibility of teleguidance-facilitated airway management.

This high-fidelity simulation study aims to assess impact of teleguidance-facilitated airway management on the success of ETI performed by inexperienced operators in a mobile ambulance.

Treatment and study plan

Teleguidance-facilitated Airway Management

Device

tele-guidence will be provided by an experienced airway expert

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of first attempt success (n,%)

    Time frame: Measured at the 60-second mark.

    Visualization of the endotracheal tube passing between the vocal cords within the first 60 seconds of the procedure.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Intubation duration (seconds)

    Time frame: procedure (Measured at the confirmation of the tube passed between vocal cords.)

    Duration between the passage of the endotracheal tube through the lips and its pass between the vocal cords

  2. Operator confidence assessed by Likert Scale.

    Time frame: At the end of the procedure

    Self-evaluation of procedure confidence using 7-point Likert Scale

  3. Feasibility of intubation assessed by Likert Scale.

    Time frame: At the end of the procedure

    Self-evaluation of methods feasibility using 7-point Likert Scale
