Intubation During Resuscitation (IDR)

October 27, 2014 updated by: Lukasz Szarpak, International Institute of Rescue Research and Education

Comparison of Four Types of Laryngoscope for Tracheal Intubation During Chest Compressions

The aim of the study was to compare time and success rates of four intubation devices ( in a cardiopulmonary scenario with uninterrupted chest compressions with a standardized manikin model.

The investigators hypothesized that fiberoscope laryngoscopes may improve success rates.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to successful intubation
Time Frame: Subjects complete study in 1 day
The devices to be compared include (1) The Bonfils Intubation Fibrescope , (2) the Video Rigid Flexing Laryngoscope, (3) the C-MAC® S Video Laryngoscope, (4) the Macintosh Laryngoscope. Successful intubation will be measured in the seconds from insertion of an intubation device to the first manual ventilation of the mannequin's lungs.
