Choosing the best laryngoscope blade for your surgery
This study compares two types of laryngoscope blades used during general anesthesia to help doctors see your airway. The goal is to find which blade works best for each patient, making intubation safer and easier.

This study looks at how neck size relates to airway management during surgery. It may help doctors prepare better for placing a breathing tube.
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 compares two types of laryngoscope blades (the tool used to guide a breathing tube) to see which works better for routine intubations. If you are an adult scheduled for a planned breathing tube placement, you may be able to join.
This trial compares a new video laryngoscope to a standard one for placing a special breathing tube used in lung surgeries. It aims to see which device works better for patients having planned chest operations.
This study looks at how well a standard laryngoscope blade works for guiding a breathing tube during anesthesia in people who have no expected airway problems. It aims to see if the blade fits well and works as intended.
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).
