Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Intubation completion time

Time interval between the start of the intubation procedure and its completion, defined by confirmed end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) observation.

Time frame

The number of episodes of hypoxia during the intubation procedure, defined as peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) \<90%.

Time frame
Perioperative/Periprocedural
2

Number of intubation attempts

The count of attempts required to complete the intubation procedure, with completion defined as confirmed end-tidal CO2

Time frame
Perioperative/Periprocedural
3

Minimum SpO2 observed during intubation

The minimum value of SpO2 observed during the intubation procedure

Time frame
