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 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 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.
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.
This study tests a newer type of video laryngoscope (a tool with a camera to help place a breathing tube) to see if it works well and safely for all adult patients having surgery with general anesthesia. The goal is to make sure the tube is placed correctly and to learn why it might be difficult in some patients, helping improve anesthesia care for everyone.
This study checks the position of a breathing tube (laryngeal mask airway) using a tiny camera (bronchoscope) during general anesthesia. The goal is to see if the camera helps confirm that the tube is placed correctly, which may improve safety and comfort.
