Comparing video and classic laryngeal mask airways
This trial compares two types of laryngeal mask airways—a video-guided mask versus a classic one—to see which works better for helping you breathe during planned surgery under general anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your airway must not be predicted to be difficult (your anesthesia team will check a score).
- You cannot have had a history of a difficult airway with past surgeries.
- Your surgery must be planned (not an emergency).
- The surgery's airway plan must use a laryngeal mask (a special breathing mask).

This trial tests a new video-guided method (SaCoVLM) against a standard scope (fiberoptic bronchoscope) to see which places the laryngeal mask better in patients getting general anesthesia for short surgeries. It may help improve airway management.
This trial compares a newer laryngeal mask airway (a device that helps you breathe during surgery) with the traditional inflatable one. It aims to see which one works better and may be more comfortable for patients having routine surgery.
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 tests a video laryngeal mask (a breathing tube with a camera) used by military medics for airway management during planned surgeries. It aims to see if it works well for patients needing help breathing during 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 trial tests two different types of laryngeal masks (breathing tubes that sit in the throat) to see which works better during minor urologic procedures. It is for adults having surgery in a lying-down position (on the back or with legs in stirrups) under general anesthesia.
