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.
This study compares two medical tools used to place a breathing tube through the mouth when intubation is expected to be difficult. It aims to find which tool is safer and works better for people with higher risk of a “hard airway.”
This study compares two ways of positioning patients when they need an emergency breathing tube, to see if one is safer or easier. It may help doctors place the tube more quickly and with fewer complications.
