Comparing breathing tube devices in people with severe obesity
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two devices (Airway Scope and GlideScope) used to place a breathing tube during surgery in people with severe obesity. If you qualify, the study will help find which tool works best for patients like you.

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.
This study compares two methods—a standard risk score (El Ganzouri index) and an ultrasound exam—to predict how easy it will be to place a breathing tube during weight-loss surgery. The goal is to find the best way to keep patients safe during anesthesia.
This study compares how well a specific breathing tube placement tool (Airtraq) works in men who are obese versus men who are not, during planned surgeries. It may help improve the safety and ease of putting in a breathing tube.
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 (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.
