Video laryngoscope for checking vocal cord view during intubation
This study is looking at how well a video laryngoscope (a device with a camera) helps doctors see your vocal cords when placing a breathing tube. If you are having surgery or a procedure that requires a breathing tube, this study may help improve how doctors manage difficult airways.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 years or older).
- You may have a normal airway or one that is expected to be difficult to intubate (place the breathing tube).
- You will be having a breathing tube placed through your mouth using a videolaryngoscope (a camera-guided device).
- You cannot be having an emergency intubation where the tube must be placed very quickly (rapid sequence intubation).
- You cannot be having a double-lumen tube (a special tube that lets doctors breathe for one lung at a time).

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.
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 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 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 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 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.
