An interventional study of Endotracheal Intubation in Cardiopulmonary Arrest, sponsored by Konkuk University Medical Center. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-12-19.
Sponsored by Konkuk University Medical Center · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a clinical study based on the analysis of video-clip data of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and clinical data for out of hospital cardiac arrest patients between 2011 and 2015. Aim of study is to compare the endotracheal intubation performance and CPR outcomes between videolaryngoscopy (VL) and direct laryngoscopy (DL) users.
Endotracheal intubation (ETI) has been considered to be the best method of airway management during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However ETI during CPR is a highly skill-dependent procedure, then it should be attempted only highly trained physicians. Because of technical difficulty in using direct laryngoscopy (DL), various types of videolaryngoscopy (VL) devices using micro-camera technology have been designed to overcome the problems of DL.
This study tried to compare the recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival discharge between use of standard device (DL) and VL in a real clinical setting. In addition, this study also compare the first pass success rate of ETI,speed of ETI, incidences of complications, and chest compression interruptions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation between both device users.
Exclusion Criteria:
Experienced emergency physicians who primarily used the direct laryngoscopy (DL) for endotracheal intubation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Procedure: Endotracheal Intubation
Experienced emergency physicians who primarily used the videolaryngoscopy (VL) for endotracheal intubation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Procedure: Endotracheal Intubation
Insertion of endotracheal tube into the trachea and supply oxygen using the Ambu-bagging during cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Survival with good neurologic outcome
Survived patients who were conscious and able to perform independent activities of daily life (CPC1 or CPC2)
Time frame: 6 months after emergency department visit
ROSC
Recovery of spontaneous circulation by successful resuscitation
Time frame: within 1 hour after emergency department visit
total time to complete ETI from the beginning
time from the advancement of the blade into the patient's mouth to the delivery of the first successful ventilation using the bag
Time frame: within 1 hour after emergency department visit
complication
Presence of chest compression interruption, esophageal intubation and dental injuries
Time frame: within 1 hour after emergency department visit
