• 1 other identifier: 1463
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 84
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Asses and compare the practility and the level of difficulty in using C-mac and pentax video-laryngoscopes or the traditional Macintoch laryngoscope in intubation in ICU patients while wearing face shield

Conditions

Intubation; Difficult or Failed

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Success rate of first pass of orotracheal intubation

  Passage of the orotracheal tube from the first time confirmed By capnography

  Untill the end of the study in average of 1 year

Study Arms (3)

C-mac video laryngoscope group

Endotracheal intubation will be performed using the C-Mac video laryngoscope under ICU conditions, while wearing a face shield. The procedure aims to assess time to intubation, ease of use, and success rate.

Pentax video-laryngoscope group

Endotracheal intubation will be performed using the Pentax video laryngoscope under ICU conditions, while wearing a face shield. The procedure aims to assess time to intubation, ease of use, and success rate.

Machintosh laryngoscope group

Endotracheal intubation will be performed using the traditional Macintosh laryngoscope under ICU conditions, while wearing a face shield. The procedure aims to assess time to intubation, ease of use, and success rate.
