What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
Time to successful intubation using a combination of video-laryngoscope and TCI Articulating Device will be equilivant to intubation success usinging a combination of video-laryngoscope and GlideRite Rigid Stylet
Time frame: time measured in seconds with an estimated time of 30 to 120 seconds from the start of intubation to endotracheal tube placement verified by CO2
successful intubation
Sponsor's own description
This study will assess the feasibility of using the TCI Articulating Device with video-laryngoscope in predictive, difficult airway, endotracheal intubation cases. It is meant to show the use of this device is equivalent to using the GlideRite Rigid Stylet with video-laryngoscope.
