Oxygen Insuflation and ArterialDesaturation During Tracheal Intubation in Children

August 30, 2023 updated by: Olga Plattner, Medical University of Vienna
Infants (0-1 yr.) with anticipated difficult airways will be enrolled in the study. Specifically, we will include infants with cleft palate, Pierre Robin, Treacher Collins, trisomy 21, or similar congenital malformations. Patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status scores ≥3 will be excluded, as will those with congenital heart disease and left-to-right shunting. Patients will be randomly assigned to laryngoscopy with or without simultaneous insufflation of oxygen at 4 L/minute. Oxygen will be provided by a flowmeter connected via rigid tubing to the track-mounted endotracheal tube on the AirTraq. Randomization (1:1) will be based on computer-generated codes with random block sizes and stratified by hospital; allocation will be concealed and provided to clinicians via a secure web site that will be accessed shortly before induction of anesthesia.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: laryngoscopy with simultaneous insufflation of oxygen
Patients will be randomly assigned to laryngoscopy with or without simultaneous insufflation of oxygen at 4 L/minute. Oxygen will be provided by a flowmeter connected via rigid tubing to the track-mounted endotracheal tube on the AirTraq.
Other: laryngoscopy with oxygen
Patients will be randomly assigned to laryngoscopy with or without simultaneous insufflation of oxygen at 4 L/minute. Oxygen will be provided by a flowmeter connected via rigid tubing to the track-mounted endotracheal tube on the AirTraq.
Placebo Comparator: laryngoscopy without simultaneous oxygen insufflation
Patients will be randomly assigned to laryngoscopy with or without simultaneous insufflation of oxygen at 4 L/minute. Oxygen will be provided by a flowmeter connected via rigid tubing to the track-mounted endotracheal tube on the AirTraq.
Other: laryngoscopy without oxygen
Patients will be randomly assigned to laryngoscopy without simultaneous insufflation of oxygen at 4 L/minute.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
time to oxygen saturation
Time Frame: Day 1
The randomized groups will be compared on time between laryngoscope (airtraq) insertion and reaching an oxygen saturation of 90%using a 2-tailed t-test or Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test, as appropriate.
Day 1

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
mean oxygenation comparison
Time Frame: Day 1
Randomized groups will be compared on mean oxygen saturation at the time of intubation using a 2-sample t-test
Day 1
