Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients with anticipated difficult airway are recommended to be managed with an awake tracheal intubation. Initially fibreoptic bronchoscopy was considered the gold standard, but in the last decade videolaryngoscopes have been demonstrated to be an efficacy alternative technique. Recently, a systematic review and meta-analysis was published investigating the efficacy and safety of videolaryngoscopy compared with fibreoptic bronchoscopy for awake tracheal intubation. Eight prospective, randomized studies were included, with different videolaryngoscopes (C-MAC, GlideScope, Pentax AWS, McGraft, and Bullard). However, a direct comparison of two different videolaryngoscopes for awake tracheal intubation in patients with anticipated difficult airway has not been performed.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a clinical prospective randomized-controlled trial. The aim of this study is to compare two different devices (C-MAC videolaryngoscope and Airtraq videolaryngoscope) for awake tracheal intubation in patients with difficult airways scheduled for surgery. The primary endpoint will be to compare first-attempt intubation success rate between the two videolaryngoscopes. Secondary outcomes will be to compare: difference in the overall success rate, number of intubation attempts, Cormack-Lehane grade of glottic view, incidence of complications related to intubation, difficulty experienced by the operator, patient's tolerability of the procedure.

C-MAC videolaryngoscope

Patients with anticipated difficult airway will be awake intubated with a C-MAC videolaryngoscopy. Spontaneous breathing will be preserved, and the same protocol of sedation plus upper airways topical anesthesia will be applied in both groups.
