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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares different videolaryngoscopes for airway management during bariatric surgery in people with severe obesity, aiming to improve safety and ease of intubation.
This study compares two different types of breathing tubes for people having surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which tube is easier to place on the first try when using a special video-guided tool.
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 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 study tests a way to place a breathing tube without using a scope, using a special airway device instead. It aims to see if this method works well, which could make intubation simpler and faster.
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.
