The Videolaryngoscopy in Small Infants (VISI) Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Video Laryngoscopy for ET placement and Direct Laryngoscopy for ET Placement for Surgery and Anesthesia, Endotracheal. Completed, enrolled 566 participants across 5 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
Complications related to infant (≤ 1 year) airway management are under-appreciated because of few rigorous and targeted studies. Investigators have recently shown that multiple tracheal intubation (TI) attempts are a key risk factor for intubation-related complications in small children. Tracheal Intubation using Video laryngoscopy (VL) has become popular in anesthesiology practice because of several advantages over conventional direct laryngoscopy (DL). Studies show that VL improves the view of the airway compared to DL, requires fewer intubation attempts, but may take more time to intubate the trachea. This study compares first attempt success of VL to DL in infants presenting for elective surgery.
