Study Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine if there are differences related to ease of intubation reported by clinicians who use the Parker Flex-Tip® endotracheal tubes(ETT)compared to the standard Mallinckrodt® (ETT). The problem is two (ETTs), the Parker Flex-Tip® and the Mallinckrodt®, are currently available for use in operative suites for intubation, but few studies have compared these devices with each other. Two research questions to be answered in the study are 1. Is there a difference in the ease of intubation when the Parker Flex-Tip® (ETT) is used when compared to the standard Mallinckrodt® (ETT)? and 2. Are there differences in the number of successful intubations when comparing the Parker Flex-Tip® (ETT) and the standard Mallinckrodt® (ETT)? The hypotheses are the use of the Parker Flex-Tip® (ETT) will demonstrate: 1. Fewer seconds to intubate the trachea. 2. Higher self-reported ease of placement scores and 3. Fewer redirections to intubate the trachea. The number of successful intubations is expected to be the same in both arms of the study.
Primary Outcome
To measure the ease of intubation by time in seconds for ETT insertion. Time was measured in seconds and started when the anesthesia provider asked for the ETT and stopped once the ETT was placed through the glottis. The time was obtained from video recordings during the intubation by the principal investigator (PI).
