An interventional study of C-MAC laryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope in Endotracheal Intubation, sponsored by Medical University of Warsaw. Completed at 1 site in Poland. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-03-09.
Sponsored by Medical University of Warsaw · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
We therefore designed this randomized crossover study to compare C-MAC with Macintosh laryngoscope in emergency intubation performed by paramedics according to three different intubator positions.
Medical University of Warsaw is the lead sponsor of 316 studies on the registry; 87 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Standard position during intubation. Intubator is behind head of the victim, propped up on both elbows
Device: C-MAC laryngoscope · Device: Macintosh laryngoscope
Intubator is behind head of the victim, lies on the left side
Device: C-MAC laryngoscope · Device: Macintosh laryngoscope
Intubator stands astride the victims, intubated using the face-to-face
Device: C-MAC laryngoscope · Device: Macintosh laryngoscope
Intubation performed using C-MAC laryngoscope
Also known as: C-MAC
Intubation performed using laryngoscope with Macintosh blade
Also known as: C-MAC
Time required for successful intubation
Time frame: 1 day
success rate of intubation attempt
success rate of first, second and third intubation attempt
Time frame: 1 day
cumulative success ratios related to time
cumulative success ratio was counted as percentage of successful intubations in time intervals in all scenarios
Time frame: 1 day
Ease of intubation
To access subjective opinion about the difficulty of each intubation method, participants were asked to rate it on a visual analog scale (VAS) with a score from 1 (extremely easy) to 10 (extremely difficult).
Time frame: 1 day
Cormack&Lehane grade
glottic view during intubation rate using Cormack\&Lehane grade
Time frame: 1 day
Dental Compression
the severity of the potential dental trauma was calculated based on previously described modified grading scale (Svoldelli, 2009)
Time frame: 1 day
