Clinical Trial: Head Motion in Pediatric Patients Endotracheally Intubated With Video Laryngoscopy Versus Direct Laryngoscopy
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Comparison of Head Motion in Pediatric Patients Endotracheally Intubated With Video Laryngoscopy (Storz C-Mac®) Versus Direct Laryngoscopy
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if intubation with video laryngoscopy (VL) will result in less head motion and therefore less cervical motion when compared with direct laryngoscopy (DL).
The aim of the study is to determine the amount of head motion (extension, flexion and rotation) when using Storz C-Mac® video laryngoscopes and direct laryngoscopes. Secondarily, the study will also measure the number of attempts to properly intubate and the time required for intubation with either technique.
Detailed Summary: Investigator initiated single site prospective and randomized controlled trial.
Sponsor: Nicklaus Children's Hospital f/k/a Miami Children's Hospital
Current Primary Outcome: Head motion - Extension or Flexion [ Time Frame: During the process of intubation (less than one minute) ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome: Time for intubation [ Time Frame: During the process of intubation (less than one minute) ]
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
