Pediatric Endotracheal Intubation During Resuscitation (PETI)

November 6, 2014 updated by: Lukasz Szarpak, International Institute of Rescue Research and Education

Comparison of Intubation Through the McGrath® MAC, GlideScope®, AirTraq® and Miller Laryngoscope by Paramedics During Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: a Randomized Crossover Manikin Trial.

Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is perceived as the optimal method of providing and maintaining a clear and secure airway. The 2010 European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines emphasized the importance of minimal interruption during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). These guidelines also suggest that skilled operators should be able to secure the airway without interrupting chest compression. The aim of the study was to compare time and success rates of different available video laryngoscopes and the Miller laryngoscope for emergency intubation during simulated pediatric CPR.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Endotracheal intubation without chest compressions
Endotracheal intubation of mannikin during resuscitation without chest compressions.
video-laryngoscopy-1
video-laryngoscopy-2
video-laryngoscopy-3
Direct laryngoscopy
Experimental: Endotracheal intubation with uninterrupted chest compressions
Endotracheal intubation of mannikin during resuscitation with uninterrupted chest compressions. In order to simulate the difficulties associated with intubation during uninterrupted chest compressions, CPR was performed by using LUCAS-2 (Physio-Control, Redmond, WA, U.S.).

Direct laryngoscopy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to intubation
Time Frame: intraoperative
time from insertion of the blade to the first manual ventilation of the manikin´s lungs. If time of intubation is over than 60 seconds, attempt was recognized as failure.
intraoperative

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Success of intubation
Time Frame: intraoperative
effectiveness of the first, second and third intubation attempts and overall effectiveness of intubation by participants using four intubation devices. If the examinee failed at all attempts, the case was excluded from the time calculations.
intraoperative
Visual Analog scale (VAS) score
Time Frame: 1 day
participants were asked which method they would prefer in a real-life resuscitation
1 day
