Video vs. standard laryngoscope for double-lumen tube placement
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of placing a special breathing tube (called a double-lumen tube) used for surgeries where only one lung is ventilated. It uses either a video camera laryngoscope or a standard direct laryngoscope to see where the tube goes. The goal is to see which method is better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You will be under general anesthesia (completely asleep).
- Your surgery requires one-lung ventilation using a double-lumen breathing tube.
- You are not scheduled to have the breathing tube placed while you are awake.
- You do not have any airway abnormalities that would make tube placement difficult.
- You are willing to give your consent to participate in the study.

This trial compares two ways of placing a breathing tube for lung surgery. It tests whether using a video to guide the tube placement works better than the standard method. If you are having keyhole chest surgery that needs one lung collapsed, this study may help improve your care.
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 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.
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 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 compares two methods to insert a special breathing tube (double-lumen tube) for lung surgery. One method uses a camera on a flexible scope (fiberoptic bronchoscopy) and the other uses a video laryngoscope. Your participation could help doctors know which method works better.
