International Institute of Rescue Research and Education

Status: Unknown

Conditions: Intubation; Resuscitation

Treatments: Device: Endoeye Flexible Intubation (LF-V); Device: Shikani Optical Stylet

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT02277405

ETI/2014/04

Details and patient eligibility

About

The aim of the study was to compare time and success rates of four intubation devices in a cardiopulmonary scenario with and without chest compressions with a standardized pediatric manikin model.

Full description

Emergency airway management during resuscitation is a critical skill in emergency medicine. According to the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines for resuscitation 2010 , endotracheal intubation (ETI) is considered the gold standard during resuscitation.

150 participants in 2 patient groups

Intubation without chest compressions

Experimental group

Description:

Endotracheal intubation of pediatric mannikin during resuscitation without chest compressions.

Treatment:

Device: Endoeye Flexible Intubation (LF-V)

Device: Shikani Optical Stylet

Intubation with uninterrupted chest compressions

Experimental group

Description:

Endotracheal intubation of pediatric 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.).

Treatment:

Device: Endoeye Flexible Intubation (LF-V)

Device: Shikani Optical Stylet
