Two tools to help place a breathing tube
This trial compares two different tools used to place a breathing tube in patients who are expected to have a difficult airway, using a video camera (videolaryngoscopy). It may help doctors choose the safer or easier tool for first-attempt tube placement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older
- Doctors expect your airway may be difficult to intubate using a video camera
- You (or a legally allowed proxy) must be able to give written consent
- You are not currently pregnant
- You are not experiencing severe breathing failure that makes participation unsafe

This trial tests which blade (hyperangulated or Macintosh) works better when doctors use a video laryngoscope to place a breathing tube in intensive care patients. It may help improve how intubation is done in the ICU.
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 study tests video-guided placement of a breathing tube through the nose or mouth during a procedure. It may help improve how safely and smoothly intubation is done using video technology.
This trial compares two types of video laryngoscopes (visionPRO and Glidescope) to see if one is as good as the other for placing a breathing tube during surgery. If you are having planned surgery with general anesthesia and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
This trial tests two different ways to help doctors put a breathing tube in a patient with a difficult airway. It compares using a video laryngoscope with a video stylet versus using a video laryngoscope with a fiberoptic scope in a simulated setting.
This study compares how well a video laryngoscope (a camera tool) helps doctors see the vocal cords and insert a breathing tube in adults. It includes people with both easy and predicted difficult airways, and looks at a scoring system for glottic (vocal cord) view.
