Is a Rigid Fiberscope With a Flexible Tip Superior to Standard Flexible Fiberoptic Intubation: a Prospective Multicentre Randomised Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating C- MAC VS and Video Endoscope for Intubation. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 3 sites in 3 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare first attempt success rates and time until intubation to establish the learning curves of the participating anaesthesiologists with two different intubation strategies: (Karl Storz C-MAC VS (Video Stylet) and the standard flexible intubation video endoscope at the study site.

Timeline
Interventions
The C-MAC VS is a new device on the airway management aid market. It will be used according to the instructions of the distributor. Before the study starts on humans, each study participants will do at least 5 intubations on an airway manikin or more until he or she feels confident to use the device.
Fiberoptic video endoscopic devices are standard aids to facilitate intubation on all study sites and are used according to the instructions to use. To facilitate fiberoptic intubation a macintosh blade to raise the root of tongue will be used. Also with these devices the study participants need at least 5 trials to intubate a manikin (or more to feel confident) before they are going to use the study device in patients.
