Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining and comparing the direct laryngoscopy versus Glidescope for the purpose of laryngoscopy management and intubation in candidates of caesarean delivery with general anesthesia
Design
A randomized, double-blinding clinical trial, with the parallel groups, Phase 2 on 90 patients
Settings and conduct
In this randomized double-blind clinical trial, 90 eligible patients referred to Beheshti Hospital in Isfahan will be included in the study and randomly divided into two groups. The first group will undergo direct intubation and the second group will be intubated by GlideScope video. Then, hemodynamic parameters of patients, laryngoscopy time, and the number of attempts for intubation between the two groups will be compared.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria consisted of pregnant women that were candidates for cesarean section under general anesthesia, with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score of one or two, the gravidity of one or two, and Intubation Difficulty Scale (IDS) score of equal or less than 5. exclusion criteria consisted of the thyromental distance (TMD) was less than 6 cm, the neck circumference (NC) was equal or more than 43 cm, patients with increased intracranial pressure, any airway pathology, cervical spinal cord injury, and requirement for rapid induction.
Intervention groups
The first intervention group: Patients in the first group underwent intubation using the direct Macintosh laryngoscope with Macintosh blade No. 3. The second intervention group: Patients in the second group underwent intubation using GlideScope video laryngoscope.
Main outcome variables
Hemodynamic parameters; Laryngoscopy time; Number of attempts for intubation

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, 90 eligible patients will be randomly selected. Then random numbers are created by computer software "Random Allocation". These numbers are randomly divided into two groups A (first intervention) and B (second intervention). Each number is written on paper and placed in an envelope. Then each patient is asked to choose an envelope from among the envelopes. According to the selected envelope, the patient will be assigned to one of the two groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
To meet the blinding condition in the study, the anesthesiologist that was responsible for performing intubation did not take part in the collection of patients’ information due to knowledge of the type of intervention in each of the two groups; however, the patient, the patient data collector, and the statistician were not aware of the type of intervention in two groups.
