Nasotracheal Intubation with Videolaryngoscopy versus Direct Laryngoscopy in Infants (NasoVISI) Trial is a prospective randomized multicenter study. The study will be conducted at 8 centers in the United States. It is expected that approximately 700 subjects enrolled to product 670 evaluable subjects.The randomization is 1:1 naso tracheal intubation with the Storz C-Mac Video Videolaryngoscopy (VL) or the Standard Direct Laryngoscope (DL). The primary objective is to compare the nasotracheal intubation (NTI) first attempt success rate using VL vs. DL in infants 0-365 days of age presenting for cardiothoracic surgery and cardiac catheterizations.

Purpose of study: To contrast and compare the Mallampatti test to a comprehensive airway grading test using a rigid 75-degree angle laryngoscope (CPAG) Study Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that the CPAG will have greater sensitivity and specificity for predicting difficulty laryngoscopy as compared to the Mallampati test. The investigators plan to test this hypothesis by comparing the correlation of (a) airway Mallampati airway grading (predicted airway difficulty) versus (b) CPAG view grading and Cormack Laryngoscopy assessment (observed airway difficulty).

Examining the effectiveness of cricoid pressure using ultrasound imaging. Pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents during tracheal intubation, although rare in pediatrics, is a potentially catastrophic complication of anesthesia. Cricoid pressure is applied during rapid sequence induction to occlude the esophagus and prevent aspiration of gastric contents. Accumulating evidence in adults suggests that cricoid pressure often is not effective, either because the esophagus normally lies lateral to the cricoid cartilage, or because downward pressure on the cricoid cartilage laterally displaces (rather than compresses) the esophagus. The investigator proposes to examine the effectiveness of cricoid pressure in children in the peri-operative setting using non-invasive ultrasound imaging. Using this approach, the investigator will investigate the normal anatomical relationship of the esophagus and the cricoid cartilage, as well as how cricoid pressures influences this relationship. Further, the investigator will examine whether alternatives to downward cricoid pressure, such as laterally directed pressure, are more effective at occluding the esophagus.

Cuff Techniques for Preventing Aspiration

Camp Lejeune, North Carolina
General anesthesia is a treatment with medicine to make a patient unconscious for surgery. This is sometimes called "being put to sleep" or "being put under." Most of the time, a breathing tube is used to help a machine breathe for patients. The breathing tube has a cuff, which is like a small balloon. After the breathing tube is placed, the cuff is inflated. This keeps the breathing tube in place and keeps fluids like saliva and stomach juices from getting into the windpipe and lungs. When a breathing tube is removed, that is called extubation. Normally, doctors deflate the cuff before removing the breathing tube. This is called deflated cuff extubation. Some doctors worry that keeping the cuff inflated while it is removed can damage the throat or vocal cords. However, some doctors keep the cuff inflated when removing the breathing tube. This is called inflated cuff extubation. These doctors think that keeping the cuff inflated can help keep fluids from entering the airway. Doctors have not studied if deflated cuff extubation is better or worse than inflated cuff extubation. The goal of this study is to see which type of extubation is better at keeping fluids from getting in the airway. Participants who are part of this study will get general anesthesia and have surgery as planned. Near the end of surgery, a small amount of liquid is placed at the back of a participant's mouth. This liquid is called contrast material, and it is like a dye. The contrast material will help determine if any liquid enters the windpipe or lungs. Then, contrast material is removed, along with any other fluids, using normal methods. When it is safe to take the breathing tube out, a deflated cuff extubation or an inflated cuff extubation will be performed. This decision will be made at random, like by the flip of a coin. Information will be collected about participants, the surgery, and how well a participant is breathing. After surgery, a chest x-ray will be taken to see if any of the contrast material is in the windpipe or lungs. Otherwise, everything else after surgery would be normal. 24 to 48 hours after surgery, a member of the research team will ask about any symptoms a participant may have, like sore throat or a hoarse voice. Research would conclude at that time.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

"As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money."

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Anesthesia Intubation Complications clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Anesthesia Intubation Complications clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Anesthesia Intubation Complications trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Anesthesia Intubation Complications is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Anesthesia Intubation Complications medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Anesthesia Intubation Complications clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Cricoid Pressure for Preventing Aspiration, Cuff Techniques for Preventing Aspiration and Endoscopic Airway Examination for Predicting Intubation Complications to the Power online platform.
