Comparing two video laryngoscopes for placing a breathing tube
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having planned surgery and will be given general anesthesia to sleep through it.
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You will need a breathing tube placed through your mouth to help you breathe during surgery.
- You are not at high risk for a difficult breathing tube placement (for example, no severe obesity, no past difficult intubation, good neck movement).
- You are not having surgery on your neck or throat.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding and you are able to give written consent.

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.
This trial compares two types of video laryngoscopes (Laringocel® and C-MAC®) to see which one works better for placing a breathing tube in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. If you are 18 or older and scheduled for elective surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two types of video laryngoscopes used to place a breathing tube while the neck is kept still, as is done in some surgeries and injuries. It aims to find which one works better and is safer for patients.
This study compares two different video devices that doctors use to see down your throat and place a breathing tube during surgery. The trial tests which device works better and is easier to use while you're under light sedation (medication to keep you calm and comfortable).
This study is looking at how well a video laryngoscope (a device with a camera) helps doctors see your vocal cords when placing a breathing tube. If you are having surgery or a procedure that requires a breathing tube, this study may help improve how doctors manage difficult airways.
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.
