Endotracheal Intubation Using Videolaryngoscopy Versus Conventional Direct Laryngoscopy
NCT04701762 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The investigators will evaluate the endotracheal intubation using video laryngoscopy versus conventional direct laryngoscopy on intubation success, quantified by the number of intubation attempts. The question is important because video laryngoscopes are more expensive than conventional direct laryngoscopes. The additional cost might be justified if video systems improve intubation success and reduce airway trauma. But if they do not, the extra cost would not be justified

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04701762
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04701762 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 7,736 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is The Cleveland Clinic, which has 607 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Intubation appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which GlideScope videolaryngoscope (Verathon, Bothell, Washington 98011) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04701762 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
