This study compares two different types of breathing tube tools used during emergency cesarean sections under general anesthesia. It aims to find which tool is easier and safer for placing the breathing tube.
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 tests which blade (hyperangulated or Macintosh) works better when doctors use a video laryngoscope to place a breathing tube in intensive care patients. It may help improve how intubation is done in the ICU.
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 different video devices that doctors use to see down your throat and place a breathing tube during surgery. The trial tests which device works better and is easier to use while you're under light sedation (medication to keep you calm and comfortable).
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.
