C-MAC Blade D Video Vs Macintosh Laryngoscope for Double Lumen Tube Insertion (DLT)

December 27, 2024 updated by: Sidra Tahir, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Institue of Trauma

Comparison Between C-MAC Blade D Video Laryngoscope and Macintosh Laryngoscope for Double Lumen Tube Insertion in Patients Undergoing Elective Thoracic Surgeries

The goal of this clinical trial is to know which type of laryngoscope is better for Double Lumen Tube (DLT) insertion, in participants undergoing elective thoracic surgeries.

The main question aim to answer is Is C-MAC blade D video laryngoscope better than Macintosh laryngoscope for DLT insertion in term of time taking for intubation and hemodynamic changes to laryngoscopy? Researchers are comparing two groups of participants

  • Participants in Group A are receiving intubation from C-MAC blade D video laryngoscope.
  • Participants in Group B are receiving intubations from Macintosh laryngoscope.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Double Lumen Tube (DLT) is a common airway management device, used to implement lung isolation technique during thoracic surgeries. Intubation of DLT is challenging because it is much larger in diameter and rotational insertion technique is associated with significant risk of prolong intubation, intubation failure, greater hemodynamic changes and airway trauma.

Objective of this study is to compare the outcome C-MAC blade D video laryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope for DLT insertion, in term of time taking for DLT intubation and hemodynamic changes to laryngoscopy.

This study is conducting at Department of Anesthesiology at SMBBIT, Pakistan. Data is collecting after taking approval from Ethical Review Committee and written informed consent from participants.

Participants are enrolling by primary investigator, day before surgery. All participants are undergoing simple randomization by lottery method.

During induction of aesthesia, time for intubation is noting from introduction of the laryngoscope blade till three complete capnograph cycles.

Participants have also been assessed for hemodynamic parameters {Heart Rate (HR), Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)} to intubation at 0 (Baseline), 1st Minute , 3rd Minute and 5th Minute after intubation.

After Completing data collection, Data analysis will be done by using SPSS version 26.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time for intubation
Time Frame: During induction of anesthesia, It will take 10 to 15 minutes
1st outcome is time for intubation time for intubation will be noted during intubation of Double Lumen Tube. Time start from introduction of laryngoscope blade till three complete capnograph cycles.
During induction of anesthesia, It will take 10 to 15 minutes
Heart Rate changes to laryngoscopy
Time Frame: From enrollment till completion it will take approximately 24 hours
Heart Rate of a patient will be noted before induction of Anaesthesia as baseline heart rate and will be labelled as 0. Then at 1 minute, at 3 minutes and at 5 minutes after intubation, and labelled as 1 ,3 & 5.
From enrollment till completion it will take approximately 24 hours
Blood pressure changes to laryngoscopy
Time Frame: Time from enrolment to completion will be 24 hours
Changes of blood pressure to laryngoscopy as Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DPB) and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) will be noted before induction of anesthesia as baseline and labelled as 0. Then at 1 minute, 3 minutes and 5 minutes after intubation and labelled as 1, 3 and 5.
Time from enrolment to completion will be 24 hours
