NCT ID NCT07284251
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared three devices used to place a special breathing tube (double-lumen tube) in 252 patients with normal airways undergoing lung surgery. The devices were the C-MAC D-Blade, the C-MAC Macintosh blade, and a standard direct laryngoscope. Researchers measured how long it took to insert the tube correctly. The goal was to see which device might be faster or easier for anesthesiologists to use.
