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 study compares two video laryngoscopes — devices that help doctors see your airway clearly when placing a breathing tube — to see if one works just as well as the other. It is a non-inferiority trial, meaning it checks that the newer device is not worse than the standard one.
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 two medical tools used to place a breathing tube through the mouth when intubation is expected to be difficult. It aims to find which tool is safer and works better for people with higher risk of a “hard airway.”
This study looks at how hard it is to place a breathing tube using a special camera-guided laryngoscope during planned surgery. It aims to create a scoring system to help doctors prepare for potential challenges.
This study tests two tools used to help you breathe during general anesthesia for planned surgery. The goal is to find out which one is easier and safer for patients like you.
