Comparison of Efficiency Between I-gel Blind Intubation and I-gel Bronchoscopic Intubation During Resuscitation (i-gel_br)

Hallym University Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital

Status: Completed

Conditions: Heart Arrest

Treatments: Device: Conventional endotracheal tube; Device: Reinforced endotracheal tube

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT02411422

Details and patient eligibility

About

The investigators will compare conventional intubation using Macintosh laryngoscope, blind endotracheal intubation using i-gel for conduit and bronchoscopic intubation using Ambu-aScope and i-gel. All situation assumed as cardiac arrest. i.e, someone give chest compressions continuously without interruption.

Moreover the investigators will compare the type of endotracheal tube. Reinforced tube has more soft tube tip, so the investigators think it is more acceptable for intubation using i-gel as conduit.

23 participants in 3 patient groups

Intubation using laryngoscope

Experimental group

Description:

Intubation using Macintosh laryngoscope. we will check procedure time according to kind of endotracheal tube, separately. Two kinds of endotracheal tube will be used * Conventional endotracheal tube * Reinforced endotracheal tube

Treatment:

Device: Reinforced endotracheal tube

Device: Conventional endotracheal tube

i-gel blind intubation

Experimental group

Description:

i-gel blind intubation means that blind endotracheal intubation will be performed after i-gel insertion. i-gel will be used as a conduit. we will check procedure time according to kind of endotracheal tube, separately. Two kinds of endotracheal tube will be used * Conventional endotracheal tube * Reinforced endotracheal tube

Treatment:

Device: Reinforced endotracheal tube

Device: Conventional endotracheal tube

i-gel bronchoscopic intubation

Experimental group

Description:

i-gel bronchoscopic intubation means that bronchoscopic endotracheal intubation will be performed after i-gel insertion. i-gel will be used as a conduit. we will check procedure time according to kind of endotracheal tube, separately. Two kinds of endotracheal tube will be used * Conventional endotracheal tube * Reinforced endotracheal tube

Treatment:

Device: Reinforced endotracheal tube

Device: Conventional endotracheal tube
