Compare a laryngoscope tool in obese vs nonobese men
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares how well a specific breathing tube placement tool (Airtraq) works in men who are obese versus men who are not, during planned surgeries. It may help improve the safety and ease of putting in a breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man and age 18 or older
- Your surgery is planned (elective), not an emergency
- Your planned procedure requires putting in a breathing tube (intubation)
- You must be eligible for surgery under anesthesia where this device could be used

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 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 different videolaryngoscopes for airway management during bariatric surgery in people with severe obesity, aiming to improve safety and ease of intubation.
This study compares two ways of checking the airway before surgery in people with obesity: a breathing tube placed with the help of ultrasound (a handheld device that uses sound waves) versus a standard laryngoscope (a lighted tool). The goal is to see which method is safer and easier for larger patients.
