Jaw thrust for breathing tube placement with a video laryngoscope
This study compares two ways to place the breathing tube during surgery using a special camera laryngoscope. It aims to see if using a jaw-thrust maneuver makes tube placement easier and safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You are scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) surgery that requires general anesthesia (you'll be fully asleep).
- You do not have a known difficult airway or a history of trouble with breathing tubes.
- You have no structural problems or past surgeries in your mouth, throat, or neck.
- You are not at high risk for aspiration (food or liquid going into your lungs).
- You do not have loose, weak, or badly decayed teeth.

This study looks at how the size and shape of your mouth and throat affect how doctors place a breathing tube (video laryngoscopy). It aims to find simple bedside measurements that predict how easy the tube will be to insert, which could improve planning before surgery.
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 compares two methods (a special camera called a videolaryngoscope and an ultrasound) to help doctors choose the best way to place a breathing tube during surgery. It aims to make airway management safer and more personalized for patients like you.
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 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 tests if using ultrasound with routine checks can better predict the best way to place a breathing tube during surgery. It aims to make intubation safer and more successful.
