Comparing two breathing tube devices for planned surgery
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having a planned (not emergency) surgery.
- You are in good enough health to be rated ASA I, II, or III by your anesthesiologist.
- You will receive general anesthesia, meaning you will be asleep during the procedure.
- You do not have conditions that make breathing tube placement difficult, such as limited mouth opening, short neck, or previous throat surgery.

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 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 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 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 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 study looks at how hard it is to place a breathing tube using a special camera-guided laryngoscope during planned surgery. It aims to create a scoring system to help doctors prepare for potential challenges.
