Comparing two blades for intubation in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are a patient in an intensive care unit (ICU).
- You need a breathing tube placed while in the ICU.
- The doctors plan to use a video laryngoscope for the procedure.

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.
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 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 study compares two different types of breathing tube tools used during emergency cesarean sections under general anesthesia. It aims to find which tool is easier and safer for placing the breathing tube.
This study compares two ways of putting a breathing tube through the nose during ear, nose, or throat surgery. One uses a video laryngoscope (a camera device) and the other uses a flexible bronchoscope (a thin, bendable tube with a camera). The goal is to see which method works better on the first try.
This trial compares two types of video laryngoscopes (tools with a camera to help place the breathing tube) in children having planned surgery. The aim is to see which one works better for routine anesthesia.
