Cancer surgery breathing tube study tests safer airway techniques

NCT ID NCT03757091

Summary

This study compared two camera-guided methods for placing breathing tubes in head and neck cancer patients before surgery. Researchers tested whether using one flexible camera scope alone worked as well as using that scope combined with a video laryngoscope. The goal was to find which method helps anesthesiologists place the tube more easily and with fewer complications like mouth injuries.
