Breathing tube placement study for surgery patients
This study compares two different types of breathing tubes for people having surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which tube is easier to place on the first try when using a special video-guided tool.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 19 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery with general anesthesia (medication to put you to sleep).
- You do not have a history of gastroesophageal reflux disease (chronic acid reflux).
- You have no unusual conditions or prior surgery on your airway (such as tumors, polyps, trauma, or inflammation).
- You do not have severely loose teeth, a high risk of aspiration, or a bleeding tendency.

This study compares two ways of putting a breathing tube through the nose during ear, nose, or throat surgery. One uses a video laryngoscope (a camera device) and the other uses a flexible bronchoscope (a thin, bendable tube with a camera). The goal is to see which method works better on the first try.
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 is testing a new way to predict whether placing a breathing tube will be difficult during surgery. It combines different measurements to help doctors plan safer anesthesia for you.
This study tests a small change in how doctors place a breathing tube for surgery. By gently rotating the tube before inserting it, they hope to reduce sore throats after surgery.
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.
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.
