Comparison of the Macintosh laryngoscope vs KingVision videolaryngoscope for routine tracheal intubation

Comparison of the Macintosh laryngoscope vs KingVision videolaryngoscope for routine tracheal intubation in Asian female surgical patients without predictors of difficult airway


Sponsor

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Study Type

Interventional

Conditions

Summary

This trial compares intubation times and characteristics of using conventional direct Macintosh laryngoscopy vs. the novel KingVision videolaryngoscope to intubate the tracheas of 60 patients with normal airways.


Eligibility

Sex: FemalesMin Age: 22 YearssMax Age: 90 Yearss

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study compares two tools used by anaesthetists to insert a breathing tube (endotracheal tube) during surgery: the traditional Macintosh laryngoscope (a standard device with a curved blade) and the newer KingVision video laryngoscope (which uses a small camera to give a clear view of the airway on a screen). The study aims to find out which tool is faster and easier to use in female patients with normal airways having gynaecological, breast, or plastic surgery. You may be eligible if: - You are a female patient between 22 and 90 years old - You are having gynaecological, breast, or plastic reconstructive surgery - You have a normal airway (as assessed by the anaesthetist) - You are of Asian heritage You may NOT be eligible if: - You have a history of difficult intubation - You are morbidly obese (BMI above 40) - You have a hiatus hernia or symptomatic acid reflux - You are at high risk of regurgitation or aspiration during anaesthesia Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.

This is a simplified summary. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

After induction of a standard general anaesthetic and 3 min after administration of a neuromuscular blocking agent, patients underwent indirect laryngoscopy and intubation with the KingVision videolar

After induction of a standard general anaesthetic and 3 min after administration of a neuromuscular blocking agent, patients underwent indirect laryngoscopy and intubation with the KingVision videolaryngoscope (comprising a reusable 2.4inch video display screen and disposable blades).
