Video-Assisted airway device may improve First-Attempt intubation success
NCT ID NCT07704723
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a video-assisted supraglottic airway device helps doctors insert a breathing tube more successfully on the first try compared to a conventional device. The study involves 204 adults undergoing planned surgery with general anesthesia. Neither device uses a fiberoptic scope, which is often unavailable. The goal is to find a safer, more effective way to manage airways in routine surgeries.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Video-assisted supraglottic airway device (SaCo VLM) and conventional intubating supraglottic airway device (AirQ)
- What this could lead to
- If video-assisted devices prove more reliable, they could become a safer, easier option for airway management when fiberoptic tools are unavailable.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 204 participants, so results may not apply to all settings. The devices are compared only in elective surgeries, not emergencies.
