OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

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.

Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This Danish observational study is collecting video recordings of endotracheal intubations — the procedure of inserting a breathing tube into the airway — to train an artificial intelligence (AI) system to recognize the anatomical structures seen during video laryngoscopy. Better AI tools could eventually help clinicians by providing real-time guidance during this critical procedure. Patients of all ages who are undergoing video-directed oral or nasal intubation at anesthesia or ICU departments in the Capital Region of Denmark are eligible, though those with upper airway malformations, equipment failures, or whose legal guardians do not consent are excluded. Participation involves the intubation video being captured and used for AI training only — there are no changes to the patient's medical care or procedures. This summary was prepared with AI assistance to help patients understand the study in plain language.

Interventions

PROCEDUREVideo-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.
