A Randomized Comparison of Free-handed Fiberoptic Intubation Compared With Fiberoptic Intubation Through an Air-QTM Intubating Laryngeal Airway in Children Less Than Two Years of Age: Does Operator Experience Affect Time to Successful Tracheal Intubation?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating air-Q, followed by fiberoptic intubation and Free-hand Fiberoptic Intubation for Fiberoptic Intubation in Children. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this prospective randomized study is to compare the effect of operator experience on the ability to use fiberoptic-guided intubation in children less than two years old, with and without the use of an air-Q as a conduit. The question the investigators are trying to answer is: Does the operator experience make a significant difference in the time for successful fiberoptic guided tracheal intubation with and without the use of an air-Q intubating laryngeal airway?

Timeline
Interventions
Fiberoptic tracheal intubation will be performed without use of the air-Q and timed. Laryngeal grade of view will also be assessed
