Comparison of Intubating Conditions in 25° Head-up Position and Strict Supine (InSizeS25)

October 21, 2021 updated by: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand

Tracheal intubation, particularly before surgery, is traditionally done in supine position. It was shown in the general population and in obese patients in particular, that the pre-oxygenation in a 25° head-up position provided a better efficiency of the pre-oxygenation and an apnea time longer. This position would also allow for better intubation conditions in direct laryngoscopy.

The investigators intend to assess two different patient's intubation position : supine position and 25° head-up position

  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Placebo Comparator: supine position
Patients are placed in the supine position at 0° from arrival in the room until intubation
The investigators assess two different patient's intubation position : supine position and 25° head-up position looking at the intubation score (POGO score).
Active Comparator: 25° head-up position
Patients are placed in the 25° head-up position (half-seat or whole body proclive) from arrival in the room until intubation.
The investigators assess two different patient's intubation position : supine position and 25° head-up position looking at the intubation score (POGO score).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
POGO score
Time Frame: at day 1
valid score observed by the anesthetist performing intubation at the time of intubation. POGO score means Percentage of Glottic Opening : from 0% (none visualization of the glottic opening, worst result) to 100% (complete visualization of the glottic opening, best result), from the anterior curvature of the vocal cords to the interarytenoid node, between the posterior cartilage
at day 1

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cormack-Lehane grade
Time Frame: at day 1
another valid score observed by the anesthetist performing intubation at the time of intubation. It classifies views obtained by direct laryngoscopy based on the structures seen. From 1 (best result) to 4 (worst result). 1 : full view of glottis (POGO 100%) / 2 : partial view of glottis / 3 : only epiglottis seen, none of glottis seen (POGO 0%) / 4 : Neither glottis nor epiglottis seen (POGO 0%).
at day 1
Intubation operator's comfort
Time Frame: at day 1
visual analog scale about the operator's comfort during intubation. It's a subjective score. It's an evaluation of the comfort of the intubation position from 0 to 10, where 0 is a total discomfort, a painful, very uncomfortable position and 10 is an optimal, very comfortable position.
at day 1
Episodes of desaturation and episodes of hypotension
Time Frame: at ady 1
SpO2 <90% or MAP <65mmHg or drop> 20% of the patient's baseline SBP
at ady 1
Mechanical complications of intubation:
Time Frame: at day 1
laryngeal pain, hoarseness, upper airway trauma
at day 1
Patient height
Time Frame: at day 1
at the tragus of the ear during intubation.
at day 1
