Official title
The DAnish VIdeo IntubaTION (DA-VITION) Study: a Prospective Observational Cohort Study
Overview
This study aims to train an AI for video-directed endotracheal intubation (VITION) to recognise the anatomical structures of the upper airway during video-directed endotracheal intubations.
Detailed description
Study design
The VITION study protocol describes the design of a prospective, observational study. Inclusion will commence in 2023 at the anesthesia and intensive care departments in the Capital Region of Denmark.
Participants
Patients across all ages are eligible for inclusion if they are undergoing video-directed oral or nasal endotracheal intubation.
Exclusion criteria
Patients are excluded if they adhere to one of the exclusion criteria:
* Upper airway malformations (e.g., laryngomalacia, vocal cord paralysis, and subglottic stenosis17,18). * Failed attempt by video laryngoscopy due to malfunctioning equipment. * Missing or corrupted video recording. * Informed consent is not obtained from the participants or participants' parents / legal guardians.
Interventions and comparisons
This prospective, observational study will have no interventions or comparisons.
Primary objective
The primary objective is to characterize anatomical landmarks and performances of intubations in a large and diverse pool of clinicians and patients.
Interventions
- Procedure Video-directed endotracheal intubation
There will be no intervention in this prospective observational cohort study. Endotracheal intubation is already used to secure the airway by placing an endotracheal tube into the trachea via the oral or nasal route. Indications include the need for airway control during general anaesthesia, mechanical ventilation, resuscitation, and various forms of acute respiratory distress.
Primary outcome measures
- Accuracy of the AI algorithm to recognise the anatomical landmarks in the upper airway. [Time frame: The landmarks will be identified on the multimedia file from the procedure.]
- Sensitivity of the AI algorithm to recognise the anatomical landmarks in the upper airway. [Time frame: The landmarks will be identified on the multimedia file from the procedure.]
- Specificity of the AI algorithm to recognise the anatomical landmarks in the upper airway. [Time frame: The landmarks will be identified on the multimedia file from the procedure.]
- AUC of the AI algorithm to recognise the anatomical landmarks in the upper airway. [Time frame: The landmarks will be identified on the multimedia file from the procedure.]
Secondary outcome measures (7)
- Time consumption of the course. [Time frame: During the procedure.]
- Number of attempts. [Time frame: During the procedure.]
- Successful endotracheal intubation. [Time frame: During the procedure.]
- Overall course success. [Time frame: During the procedure.]
- Severe oxygen desaturations [Time frame: During the procedure.]
- Non-severe TIAEs [Time frame: 72 hours after the procedure]
- Severe TIAEs [Time frame: 72 hours after the procedure]
Eligibility criteria
Patients are eligible if they adhere to all the following inclusion criteria:
● Undergoing video-directed oral or nasal endotracheal intubation.
Exclusion criteria
Patients are excluded if they adhere to one of the exclusion criteria:
- Upper airway malformations (e.g., laryngomalacia, vocal cord paralysis, and subglottic stenosis).
- Failed attempt by video laryngoscopy due to malfunctioning equipment.
- Missing or corrupted video recording.
- Informed consent is not obtained from the participants or participants' parents / legal guardians.
