Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare haemodynamic changes to orotracheal intubation with Airtraq® video laryngoscope and Fibreoptic bronchoscope in anaesthetised and paralysed patients with simulated cervical spine injury with respect to the following parameters: 1. Heart rate (HR) 2. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) 3. Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 4. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)Timepoint: Time in seconds from introduction of Airtraq® video laryngoscope or Fibreoptic bronchoscope into the mouth to the time of confirmation of endotracheal tube placement by appearance of capnographic trace—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
duration of intubationTimepoint: Time in seconds from introduction of Airtraq® video laryngoscope or Fibreoptic bronchoscope into the mouth to the time of confirmation of endotracheal tube placement by appearance of capnographic trace—
