Video laryngoscope for difficult intubation
This study compares how well a video laryngoscope (a camera tool) helps doctors see the vocal cords and insert a breathing tube in adults. It includes people with both easy and predicted difficult airways, and looks at a scoring system for glottic (vocal cord) view.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have either a normal airway or one that is predicted to be difficult to intubate.
- You are having a breathing tube placed through your mouth using a video laryngoscope (a camera-assisted device).
- You are not having rapid sequence intubation (a fast intubation method).
- You are not having a double-lumen tube (a special tube for lung separation) placed.

This trial compares two types of video laryngoscopes (visionPRO and Glidescope) to see if one is as good as the other for placing a breathing tube during surgery. If you are having planned surgery with general anesthesia and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two different devices (a video laryngeal mask and a video laryngoscope) used to help you breathe during surgery. It aims to see which tool works better for placing a breathing tube in patients having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
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 three different scales used to measure how difficult it is to place a breathing tube using a video laryngoscope (a special camera tool) in children. It may help determine the best way to predict and manage airway challenges during surgery.
This trial tests two different ways to help doctors put a breathing tube in a patient with a difficult airway. It compares using a video laryngoscope with a video stylet versus using a video laryngoscope with a fiberoptic scope in a simulated setting.
This trial compares three different tools doctors use to place a breathing tube during surgery. It will help find which device works best for patients needing routine intubation.
