Inserting a breathing tube without a scope
This study tests a way to place a breathing tube without using a scope, using a special airway device instead. It aims to see if this method works well, which could make intubation simpler and faster.

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 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 is testing a new tool called the AEBLScope that helps doctors see while changing a tracheostomy tube in the office. You may still be able to participate if you have a stable tracheostomy and have had it changed before.
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.
This trial compares two devices (Airway Scope and GlideScope) used to place a breathing tube during surgery in people with severe obesity. If you qualify, the study will help find which tool works best for patients like you.
