Video vs. direct laryngoscopy for children's breathing tubes
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube in children during surgery: using a video camera laryngoscope or a standard direct laryngoscope. If your child is having a planned surgery and needs a breathing tube, this trial may help determine which method is safer and easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between newborn and 16 years old.
- They are having a planned (not emergency) surgery that needs a breathing tube placed through the mouth.
- The breathing tube will be placed using either a video laryngoscope or a standard laryngoscope.
- You and your child (if old enough) agree to the study and sign a consent form.
- Your child does not have any known airway problems that would require a special technique for placing the tube.
