NCT05967507

Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate the optimal oxygen flow rate needed during tracheal intubation with the C-MAC video laryngoscope (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) using Miller-blade or Macintosh-blade size No. 0 or No. 1 in the operating room or intensive care unit. The investigators hypothesize that the difference between low-flow and high-flow supplemental oxygen is negligible.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • First attempt success rate

    The primary study outcome is to evaluate the first attempt success rate of oral and nasal tracheal intubation with the C-MAC video laryngoscope (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) with supplemental oxygen with low-flow vs high flow among neonates and infants up to 52 weeks postconceptual age. A successful tracheal intubation (ETI) attempt is defined as successful placement of a tracheal tube in the trachea, confirmed by visualization of the tube passing the vocal cords, a waveform capnography suggesting correct ETT placement and auscultation of breath sounds in the lungs.

    15 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Occurrence of severe desaturation

    15 minutes

  • Overall number of intubation attempts

    15 minutes

  • First attempt success rate of tracheal intubation

    15 Minutes

  • Time required for intubation

    5 minutes

  • First EtCO2 after successful intubation

    10 minutes

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

0.2 L/kg/min FiO2 1.0 low-flow nasal supplemental oxygen with conventional nasal cannula during tracheal intubation performed with the C-MAC videolaryngoscope (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) with Miller-blade or Macintosh-blade size No. 0 or No. 1.

Device: Low-flow nasal supplemental oxygen with a conventional nasal cannula during tracheal intubation with the C-MAC video laryngoscope

Control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

2 L/kg/min FiO2 1.0 high-flow nasal supplemental oxygen with the Optiflow (Fisher \& Paykel Healthcare, Auckland, New Zealand) during tracheal intubation performed with the C-MAC videolaryngoscope (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) with Miller-blade or Macintosh-blade size No. 0 or No. 1.

Device: High-flow nasal supplemental oxygen (Fisher & Paykel, Auckland, New Zealand) during tracheal intubation with the C-MAC video laryngoscope

Interventions

0.2 L/kg/min FiO2 1.0 low-flow nasal supplemental oxygen with a conventional nasal cannula during tracheal intubation with the C-MAC video laryngoscope (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) with Miller-blade or Macintosh-blade size No. 0 or No. 1.

Intervention group

2 L/kg/min FiO2 1.0 high-flow nasal supplemental oxygen (Fisher \& Paykel, Auckland, New Zealand) during tracheal intubation with the C-MAC video laryngoscope (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) with Miller-blade or Macintosh-blade size No. 0 or No. 1.

Eligibility Criteria

AgeUp to 52 Weeks
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Pediatric patients requiring oral or nasal tracheal intubation for elective, semi-elective, or urgent surgical and non-surgical indications.
  • Neonates and infants up to 52 weeks postconceptual age, with legal guardians providing written informed consent before the intervention

You may not qualify if:

  • Prediction of difficult intubation upon physical examination or previous history of difficult intubation, mandating a technique different than direct laryngoscopy to secure the airway;
  • Congenital heart disease demanding FiO2 \< 1.0
  • Cardiopulmonary collapse requiring advanced life support
  • Intubation for emergency surgical and non-surgical indications.
