1 Non-Invasive Monitoring of Respiratory Function in Spontaneously Breathing Patients With COVID-19 Infection

This study uses the AirGo band to monitor changes in tidal ventilation in spontaneously breathing patients with COVID-19 associated respiratory failure. It aims to recognize patterns of ventilation associated with worsening respiratory failure in this patient population. If successful, this study will lead to the development of new robust methods for real-time, continuous monitoring of respiratory function in patients with respiratory failure. In turn, such monitoring methods may enable improvements in the medical management of respiratory failure and timing of interventions.

2 A Randomised Controlled Trial to Compare McGrath Videolaryngoscope Against Direct Laryngoscope for Endotracheal Intubation When Powered Air Purifying Respirator is Worn During the Current Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic

Various guidelines for endotracheal intubation (insertion of breathing tube for mechanical ventilation) of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients recommend the use of videolaryngoscope (medical device used for intubation that has a camera to visualize the vocal cords between which the breathing tube will pass) over direct laryngoscope (conventionally-used medical device for intubation that depends on anesthetist's direct visualization of vocal cords). The reasons for this recommendation are to maximize the distance between the medical personnel and the patient's face during intubation to decrease the risk of viral particles transmission and to improve intubation success. For patients infected with COVID-19, Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) is recommended as an alternative to N95 masks during aerosol-generating procedures such as intubation because N95 masks may not fully protect medical personnel from viral transmission during intubation. There is no evidence to suggest that videolaryngoscope (VL) is superior to direct laryngoscope (DL) for intubation when PAPR is donned. The purpose of this study is to determine if McGrath VL is superior to DL for intubation when the anesthetist is wearing a PAPR. The investigators' hypothesis is that McGrath VL will decrease the time to intubation by 20 seconds and more compared to DL when PAPR is donned. The investigators also hope to learn if there is any difference in the difficulties encountered between the use of VL and DL.

NCT04424953 Coronavirus Infection Ventilatory Failure Anesthesia Intubation Complication Device: McGrath videolaryngoscope Device: Direct laryngoscope
MeSH:Coronavirus Infections Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Hypoventilation
HPO:Hypoventilation

Primary Outcomes

Description: The time to intubation starts from the time the anesthetist takes over the laryngoscope till the first appearance of consecutive capnography tracings. The time to intubation will be assessed via a retrospective playback of the video-recording of the intubation process. Compares the time to intubation for McGrath videolaryngoscope against direct laryngoscope.

Measure: Time to intubation for McGrath videolaryngoscope versus direct laryngoscope

Time: During the intubation process

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Compares the incidence of success at first intubation attempt using McGrath videolaryngoscope against direct laryngoscope. To be assessed via a retrospective playback of the video-recording of the intubation process.

Measure: Incidence of success at first intubation attempt with McGrath videolaryngoscope versus direct laryngoscope

Time: During the intubation process

Description: Compares the incidence of the use of adjuncts (bougie, stylet, external laryngeal pressure, hyper-angulated blades) at first attempt with McGrath videolaryngoscope against direct laryngoscope. To be assessed via a retrospective playback of the video-recording of the intubation process

Measure: Incidence of the use of adjuncts at first attempt with McGrath videolaryngoscope versus direct laryngoscope

Time: During the intubation process

Description: Compares the incidence of the use of adjuncts (bougie, stylet, external laryngeal pressure, hyper-angulated blades) at subsequent attempts (after first attempt) with McGrath videolaryngoscope against direct laryngoscope. To be assessed via a retrospective playback of the video-recording of the intubation process

Measure: Incidence of the use of adjuncts at subsequent attempts with McGrath videolaryngoscope versus direct laryngoscope

Time: During the intubation process

Description: Compares the incidence of success and failure at intubation using the initial laryngoscope that the anesthetist is randomised to. To be assessed via a retrospective playback of the video-recording of the intubation process.

Measure: Incidence of success and failure at intubation using initial laryngoscope

Time: During the intubation process

Description: Compares the Intubation Difficulty Scale between using McGrath videolaryngoscope and direct laryngoscope for intubation. The scale is the sum of score from 7 variables. Ranges from 0 ("ideal" intubation, that is one performed without effort, on the first attempt, practiced by one operator, using one technique, full visualization of laryngeal aperture and vocal cords abducted) to infinity (impossible intubation). The higher the scale, the more difficulty the intubation process. To be assessed via a retrospective playback of the video-recording of the intubation process and also by interviewing the anesthetist who carried out the intubation.

Measure: Intubation Difficulty Scale with McGrath videolaryngoscope versus direct laryngoscope

Time: During the intubation process

Description: Compares the incidence of oxygen desaturation to less than 88% and oro-dental injuries between the McGrath videolaryngoscope and direct laryngoscope. To be assessed during the playback of the video-recording of the intubation process and by intereviewing the anesthetist.

Measure: Incidence of oxygen desaturation to less than 88% and oro-dental injuries with McGrath videolaryngoscope versus direct laryngoscope.

Time: During the intubation process.

Description: Compares the incidence of inability to intubate despite all efforts by the anesthetist between the McGrath videolaryngoscope and the direct laryngoscope. To be assessed during the playback of the video-recording of the intubation process.

Measure: Incidence of inability to intubate despite all efforts by the anesthetist with McGrath videolaryngoscope versus direct laryngoscope
