Testing a video laryngoscope for placing breathing tubes during surgery
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You are scheduled for a surgery where a breathing tube (endotracheal tube) will be placed as part of your routine anesthesia care.
- The tube may be placed through your mouth or nose.
- You may or may not be receiving muscle relaxants (drugs that temporarily stop muscle movement) during anesthesia.
- You must be medically stable and able to give your own consent to participate.

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 study looks at how hard it is to place a breathing tube using a special camera-guided laryngoscope during planned surgery. It aims to create a scoring system to help doctors prepare for potential challenges.
This trial compares two types of laryngoscope blades (the tool used to guide a breathing tube) to see which works better for routine intubations. If you are an adult scheduled for a planned breathing tube placement, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two types of video laryngoscopes used to place a breathing tube while the neck is kept still, as is done in some surgeries and injuries. It aims to find which one works better and is safer for patients.
This trial compares two types of video laryngoscopes (Laringocel® and C-MAC®) to see which one works better for placing a breathing tube in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. If you are 18 or older and scheduled for elective surgery, you may be able to join.
This study is looking at how well a video laryngoscope (a device with a camera) helps doctors see your vocal cords when placing a breathing tube. If you are having surgery or a procedure that requires a breathing tube, this study may help improve how doctors manage difficult airways.
