Checking breathing tube position with a camera during anesthesia
This study checks the position of a breathing tube (laryngeal mask airway) using a tiny camera (bronchoscope) during general anesthesia. The goal is to see if the camera helps confirm that the tube is placed correctly, which may improve safety and comfort.

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 study looks at how the size and shape of your mouth and throat affect how doctors place a breathing tube (video laryngoscopy). It aims to find simple bedside measurements that predict how easy the tube will be to insert, which could improve planning before surgery.
This study compares two methods (a special camera called a videolaryngoscope and an ultrasound) to help doctors choose the best way to place a breathing tube during surgery. It aims to make airway management safer and more personalized for patients like you.
This study tests a newer type of video laryngoscope (a tool with a camera to help place a breathing tube) to see if it works well and safely for all adult patients having surgery with general anesthesia. The goal is to make sure the tube is placed correctly and to learn why it might be difficult in some patients, helping improve anesthesia care for everyone.
This study tests if using ultrasound with routine checks can better predict the best way to place a breathing tube during surgery. It aims to make intubation safer and more successful.
This study compares two different types of breathing tubes for people having surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which tube is easier to place on the first try when using a special video-guided tool.
