Evaluation of Two Positions for Free Floating Tracheal Intubation in Weightlessness

France9 participantsStarted 2019-09-01

Plain-language summary

In a non-randomized, controlled, cross-over simulation study, the investigators evaluated and compared intubation performance of trained operators, using either a conventional laryngoscope in an ice-pick position or a video laryngoscope in a free-floating classic position, in weightlessness and in normogravity. Data were analyzed with the generalized linear mixed-effects models. Primary endpoint was the success rate of tracheal intubation. Time to intubation and the confidence score into the success of tube placement were also recorded as secondary endpoints.
