Video airway tool with or without assist device for surgery
This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube during elective surgery using a video camera. Researchers want to see if adding a special assist device makes the procedure safer and easier for patients with straightforward airway anatomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Scheduled for elective (planned, non-emergency) surgery under general anesthesia with a breathing tube
- Surgery expected to last less than 2 hours
- Good overall health with no active heart problems
- No history of difficult breathing tube placement or airway surgery
- No significant facial, throat, or spine issues that could affect airway access
- Able to move your neck normally without limitation

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 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.
This trial compares two different tools used to place a breathing tube in patients who are expected to have a difficult airway, using a video camera (videolaryngoscopy). It may help doctors choose the safer or easier tool for first-attempt tube placement.
This trial tests two different ways to help doctors put a breathing tube in a patient with a difficult airway. It compares using a video laryngoscope with a video stylet versus using a video laryngoscope with a fiberoptic scope in a simulated setting.
