Comparing two devices for placing a breathing tube in lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are not pregnant.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or less.

This trial compares three methods for placing a special breathing tube that helps doctors collapse one lung during chest surgery. The goal is to find which method works best and is safest for patients having elective lung procedures.
This study compares two different devices used to help place a breathing tube in children during surgery. It aims to find out which device works better for young children having planned operations.
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 (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 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 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.
