Abstract EN
Purpose.
The aim of the study was to assess the performance of Airway Scope (AWS) on the first attempt at intubation in manikins by nonexpert physicians.
Methods.
A randomized crossover trial involving seven scenarios.
Participants: residents of a cardiovascular hospital.
In group A, the AWS procedure was performed first followed by Machintouch Laryngoscopy (ML), while in group B the ML procedure was performed first and then the AWS.
The primary outcome assessed was the success of first intubation attempt in a normal scenario.
The secondary outcome assessments were success in six other scenarios, and also elapsed time and dental trauma caused in all scenarios.
Results.
There were 34 participants.
All AWS-assisted intubations were successfully completed, but one ML-assisted intubation failed in the normal scenario (P=0.32).
The outcomes achieved by the AWS in scenarios involving cervical immobilization (P=0.03), tongue edema (P≤0.001), pharyngeal obstruction (P≤0.001), and jaw trismus (P=0.001) were superior to those obtained with the ML.
Conclusions.
Use of AWS-assisted intubation in manikin scenarios results in a significantly high intubation success rate on the first attempt by nonexpert physicians.
These findings suggest this new device will be useful for nonexpert physicians in emergency situations.
