Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The main study parameters are force on the maxillary incisors and the time
taken for laryngoscopy, as previously alluded.
Secondary outcome
The secondary study parameters are the experience of the anaesthesiologist and
the difficulty of intubation (to relate a scale of difficulty of intubation to
the primary parameters).
Background summary
Although the use of modern laryngoscopes is successfully in the majority of
patients, in some patients visualization of the tracheal entrance is not
possible. The exerted force, needed to provide an insight on the tracheal
entrance during laryngoscopy may vary, but there are cases where these forces
cause damage to structures like the maxillary incisors. In order to prevent
this damage and to improve the laryngoscopic procedure, a new laryngoscope is
designed. The Video Macintosh Laryngoscope is a relatively new intubation
device with video module imaging technology embedded within the blade. The
image from the video module is displayed on an external monitor. This
technology makes it possible to perform a visually controlled intubation.
However, the exerted forces during laryngoscopy applied by this
video-laryngoscope are not studied yet. The aim of this study is to measure and
describe the eventually difference of magnitude of forces on the maxillary
incisors, applied by the video-laryngoscope in comparison with a standard
Macintosh laryngoscope. The collected data will be analyzed for a significant
difference between both laryngoscopes.
Study objective
The primary objective is to measure the forces on the maxillary incisors
applied by two different laryngoscopes during endotracheal intubation. With
sensors integrated with the blade of the laryngoscopes, applied forces are
being measured. We hypothesize that the videolaryngoscope exert less force then
the standard laryngoscope.
Study design
This study is a non-invasive study where forces are being measured.
Study burden and risks
For the participants, there are negligible risks associated with the study.
Laryngoscopy itself brings minimal risk but this study will not increase that
risk. This study will not require other conditions as standard laryngoscopy.
