There is one clinical trial.
The safety and efficacy of a laryngoscopy as a primary intubation tool in urgent endotracheal intubation of cardiac arrest patients with suspected/confirmed COVID-19 has not been well-described in the literature. This study will answer whether using a Vie Scope laryngoscope will impact on the efficacy and safety of intubation compared with a traditional direct laryngoscopy.
Description: Definition of failed intubation: Time to intubation is longer than 120 seconds or wrong placement of endotracheal tube (For example : Esophageal intubation etc.)
Measure: Intubation success rate during at the first laryngoscopy Time: 10 minDescription: Intubation difficulty assessed by Intubation difficulty Scale score
Measure: Intubation difficulty Scale score Time: 10 minDescription: Complications related to tracheal intubation during advanced Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): failure, esophageal intubation, mainstem intubation, vomiting, pulmonary aspiration, dental trauma, extubation
Measure: Complications related to tracheal intubation Time: 10 minDescription: Time to completion of tracheal intubation (TI) procedure measured from the instant that the laryngoscope blade touches the patient to the moment that the tracheal tube cuff is inflated
Measure: Time to completion of tracheal intubation (TI) procedure Time: 10 minDescription: Duration of the interruption of chest compression during ETI procedure
Measure: Duration of the interruption of chest compression during ETI procedure Time: 10 minDescription: We will record the best laryngeal View during intubation. We will record according to the Cormack-Lehane Grade system.
Measure: Laryngeal View during intubation Time: 10 minDescription: self-reported percentage of glottis opening (POGO) score
Measure: POGO score Time: 10 min
