Comparison of Head Motion in Pediatric Patients Endotracheally Intubated With Video Laryngoscopy (Storz C-Mac®) Versus Direct Laryngoscopy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Video Laryngoscopy, Direct Laryngoscopy, and 1 other intervention for Intubation; Difficult and Cervical Spine Injury. Completed, enrolled 92 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if intubation with video laryngoscopy (VL) will result in less head motion and therefore less cervical motion when compared with direct laryngoscopy (DL). The aim of the study is to determine the amount of head motion (extension, flexion and rotation) when using Storz C-Mac® video laryngoscopes and direct laryngoscopes. Secondarily, the study will also measure the number of attempts to properly intubate and the time required for intubation with either technique.

Timeline
Interventions
Head motion will be measured by using Polhemus Patriot™ electromagnetic tracking system
Time for intubation will be measured from the laryngoscope entering the mouth to the endotracheal tube passing through the vocal cords
