# Conventional Direct Laryngoscopy Vs. Video Laryngoscopy With The C-MAC For Pyloromyotomy

**NCT ID:** [NCT02775214](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT02775214)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** TERMINATED
- **Why Stopped:** Change in staffing structure, no longer fit original study design
- **Phase:** NA
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 62
- **Lead Sponsor:** Indiana University
- **Conditions:** Pyloric Stenosis, Intubation, Pediatric
- **Start Date:** 2013-09
- **Completion Date:** 2022-07-12
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2023-11-01

## Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two different ways of placing breathing tubes for surgery. Both ways are used currently to place breathing tubes and are safe and effective. This study seeks to determine if one way is better than the other for infants with pyloric stenosis.

## Detailed Description

Specific aims of this study include determining if there is a difference in the desaturation rates of the two different intubation techniques- Direct Laryngoscopy and the C-MAC video laryngoscope. Also is there a difference in intubation success between the two techniques, does intubation success vary with different training levels, and does desaturation rate differ among training levels.

## Eligibility

- **Maximum age:** 6 Months
- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** No

```
Inclusion Criteria:

* Need general anesthesia for pyloromyotomy procedure
* Have been informed of the nature of the study and informed consent has been obtained from the legally responsible guardian

Exclusion Criteria:

* Abnormal/difficult airway
* Allergy to succinylcholine and/or propofol
```

## Arms

- **Conventional Direct Laryngoscopy** (NO_INTERVENTION) — Endotracheal intubation will be performed by conventional direct laryngoscopy.
- **Video Laryngoscopy** (ACTIVE_COMPARATOR) — Endotracheal intubation will be performed by video laryngoscopy with the C-MAC.

## Interventions

- **Video Laryngoscopy** (DEVICE)

## Primary Outcomes

- **Number of Participants Who Had Desaturation Below 80% During Intubation** _(time frame: During intubation attempt (less than two minutes))_ — Patient had a desaturation below 80% during intubation with either conventional laryngoscope or video laryngoscope

## Locations (1)

- Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health, Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
