Testing a New Airway Scope for Surgery
This study tests whether a special viewing tool (hyperangulated videolaryngoscope) can safely help doctors place breathing tubes in patients undergoing surgery. Researchers want to understand which patients it works best for and when it might not be effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are having surgery that requires a breathing tube to be placed in your windpipe
- Your breathing tube will be placed either through your mouth or nose as part of your planned anesthesia care
- You are physically stable enough to participate and able to give informed consent before surgery
- You are not having an emergency breathing tube placement (it must be planned in advance)

This trial tests whether one type of breathing tube works better than another when used with a video laryngoscope without a stylet during surgery. It aims to help doctors succeed on the first try when placing the tube.
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 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 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 study compares how well a video laryngoscope (a camera tool) helps doctors see the vocal cords and insert a breathing tube in adults. It includes people with both easy and predicted difficult airways, and looks at a scoring system for glottic (vocal cord) view.
