Summary

This trial compares two types of breathing tubes (oral RAE vs. reinforced) used with a video laryngoscope to see which allows faster, safer intubation with fewer throat injuries. Adult patients scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia are randomly assigned to one tube type. The study measures first-attempt success rate, throat soreness, hoarseness, and any airway injury after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: endotracheal tube (oral RAE or reinforced)
What this could lead to: If one tube type proves better, it could lead to fewer intubation attempts and less throat injury for patients undergoing surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a small, single-center study comparing two tube types; results may not apply to all patients or settings, and the difference between tubes may be small.
