Abstract

Background We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the ALRYNGO channel-type video laryngoscope with an AI-based glottis guidance system in senior emergency medicine residents for endotracheal intubation. Methods We enrolled twenty patients would be adequate for each device (direct laryngoscope, Pentax-AWS, and ALRYNGO). Before intubation, six senior residents wore a personal protective equipment. To randomize the device in this clinical study, a sealed envelope containing a device-specific identification card was utilized. When intubation began, the person who measured the intubation time divided the total intubation time into three-time intervals. The primary outcome was the intubation time. The secondary outcomes were the glottis view using the Cormack-Lehane grade (C-L grade) and the glottis guidance performance of ALRYNGO’s artificial intelligence. Results In Pentax-AWS and ALRYNGO, all intubations were successful, but the intubation time was longer than with the direct laryngoscope. And among the three, the ALRYNGO and Pentax-AWS had the highest frequency of C-L grade I (easiest intubation) at 80%, and the direct laryngoscope had the lowest frequency of 10%. Conclusions Even if healthcare professionals without experience with the channel-type video laryngoscope improve their performance on airway mannequins after training, their intubation performance may differ when applied to actual patients.
