Testing a laryngoscope blade during planned breathing tube placement
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial studies how well a specific laryngoscope blade works when doctors place a breathing tube using direct laryngoscopy during general anesthesia. It may help doctors choose better equipment to make intubation easier and safer for the right patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult age 20 to 65 and can give consent
- You are scheduled for surgery with general anesthesia that uses direct laryngoscopy to place a breathing tube
- Your pre-check shows you have a normal airway and no expected difficulty getting the tube in
- You do not have no teeth (are not edentulous)
- You do not have dental issues like a missing tooth, overlapping teeth, or recent cosmetic dental work
- You have not had a previously difficult airway during tube placement

This trial compares two types of laryngoscope blades (the tool used to guide a breathing tube) to see which works better for routine intubations. If you are an adult scheduled for a planned breathing tube placement, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two types of video laryngoscopes (Laringocel® and C-MAC®) to see which one works better for placing a breathing tube in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. If you are 18 or older and scheduled for elective surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial compares three different tools doctors use to place a breathing tube during surgery. It will help find which device works best for patients needing routine intubation.
This trial compares a new video laryngoscope to a standard one for placing a special breathing tube used in lung surgeries. It aims to see which device works better for patients having planned chest operations.
This study tests whether a special viewing tool (hyperangulated videolaryngoscope) can safely help doctors place breathing tubes in patients undergoing surgery. Researchers want to understand which patients it works best for and when it might not be effective.
This trial tests whether one type of breathing tube works better than another when used with a video laryngoscope without a stylet during surgery. It aims to help doctors succeed on the first try when placing the tube.
