Comparison of the Intubation Condition Between Using Two Types of Blade in Patients Receiving Tracheal Intubation Using Videolaryngoscope: Channeled Blade vs. Non-channeled Blade

The present study compares two different types of videolaryngoscope blade, which is a channeled and non-channeled blade. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of the type of videolaryngoscope blade on the intubation condition.

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Detailed Description

In tracheal intubation for general anesthesia, one of the two types of the blade during a video laryngoscopy can be used, one is a channeled blade that has a channel for tracheal tube launching, the other is a non-channeled blade. In the present study, the outcomes by using two types of the videolaryngoscope blade such as the intubation condition, intubation time, first-pass rate, and the incidence of intubation-related complications were compared.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Channeled group
Group of patients using a channeled blade for videolaryngoscopy
In the present group, a tracheal tube was launched in the channel of the blade before tracheal intubation
Active Comparator: Non-channeled group
Group of patients using a non-channeled blade (standard type) for videolaryngoscopy
In the present group, a tracheal tube was not launched in the videolaryngoscope blade before tracheal intubation
