Comparing fiberoptic tube sizes for breathing tube placement
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a thinner or thicker flexible tube (fiberoptic scope) makes it easier to place a breathing tube during anesthesia. It may help patients who need general anesthesia for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
