Does McGRATH® MAC Videolaryngoscope Decrease the Number of People Required to Perform Intubation During Anesthesia ? (MGM3)

October 20, 2021 updated by: Hopital Foch

Can the Use of the McGRATH® MAC Videolaryngoscope Decrease the Number of People Required for Tracheal Intubation in a Population of Patients Without Predicted Difficult Intubation?

The main objective of this study is to compare the proportion of tracheal intubations for which more than one person is necessary when using the McGRATH® MAC videolaryngoscope.

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Conditions

Detailed Description

Videolaryngoscopes, such as McGRATH® MAC videolaryngoscope, are used to facilitate tracheal intubations. This study is designed to evaluate the proportion of cases requiring more than one member of the anesthesiology team when the video feature of McGRATH® MAC is available during laryngoscopy in a population of patients without a predicted difficult intubation (Arne's score <11).

General anesthesia from induction until tracheal intubation is recorded on a video for further analysis. Analysis includes characteristics of intubation, patient's monitoring and cooperation between anesthesiologists in two groups. In the control group, the screen of the McGRATH® MAC videolaryngoscope is hidden. In the experimental group, the McGRATH® MAC videolaryngoscope is used with its video feature.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of people needed for tracheal intubation when the video feature of McGRATH® MAC videolaryngoscope is available
Time Frame: 30 minutes
Intubation is video and audio recorded for further analysis. The availability of the video feature of McGRATH® MAC is hidden from the recording. Only the number of people required and the intubation characteristics can be seen on the video.
30 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cooperation between members of the anesthesiology team during intubation
Time Frame: 30 minutes
Based on the video recording: Use of the Kraus Scale (based on "Kraus M, Huang C, Keltner D: Tactile Communication, Cooperation and Performance. Emotion, 2010, 10, 745-9") evaluating communication and gestures within the team
30 minutes
Intubation difficulty Scale (IDS)
Time Frame: 30 minutes
30 minutes
Number of hands necessary for tracheal intubation
Time Frame: 30 minutes
Based on the video recording: 2 hands when one person intubates by itself without any help, 3 or 4 hands when assistance is given by a second anesthesiologist. 5 to 6 hands when a third person is needed.
30 minutes
Time to intubate
Time Frame: 30 minutes
Based on the video recording: from the entrance of the blade in the patient's mouth until the presence of the first capnogram
30 minutes
Esophageal intubation
Time Frame: 30 minutes
No capnograms during mechanical ventilation once intubation is performed
30 minutes
Intubation failure
Time Frame: 30 minutes
Based on the video recording
30 minutes
Arterial desaturation
Time Frame: 30 minutes maximum
Based on the video recording: visualisation of a pulse oximetry inferior to 92%
30 minutes maximum
Perception of intubation difficulty by the operator
Time Frame: 30 minutes
Evaluation on a scale between zero (no difficulty at all) to ten (extremely difficult)
30 minutes
Impact of videolaryngoscopy on hemodynamic variables
Time Frame: 30 minutes
Based on the video recording: Blood pressure and heart beat on monitoring before and after video laryngoscopy
30 minutes
Evaluation of usual complications after tracheal intubation
Time Frame: 24 hours
Sore throat or voice change noticed on day 1
24 hours
