Comparing three intubation methods for lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests three different ways doctors can place a breathing tube for lung surgery. Researchers want to see which method works best and is easiest for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for planned (non-emergency) chest or lung surgery that needs a special double-lumen breathing tube
- Your overall health is good enough for surgery (ASA class I, II, or III—your doctor can tell you this)
- You do not have a difficult airway (no very narrow throat opening, no prior throat surgery, no severe weight concerns)
- You are not pregnant
- You can read and sign a consent form before your surgery

This trial compares a new video laryngoscope to a standard one for placing a special breathing tube used in lung surgeries. It aims to see which device works better for patients having planned chest operations.
This trial compares two ways of placing a breathing tube for lung surgery. It tests whether using a video to guide the tube placement works better than the standard method. If you are having keyhole chest surgery that needs one lung collapsed, this study may help improve your care.
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 compares two methods to insert a special breathing tube (double-lumen tube) for lung surgery. One method uses a camera on a flexible scope (fiberoptic bronchoscopy) and the other uses a video laryngoscope. Your participation could help doctors know which method works better.
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 ways of placing a special breathing tube (called a double-lumen tube) used for surgeries where only one lung is ventilated. It uses either a video camera laryngoscope or a standard direct laryngoscope to see where the tube goes. The goal is to see which method is better.
