Brief Summary:
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:
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.
