Two video laryngoscopes go head to head in children
NCT ID NCT07837882
First seen Sep 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 25, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study compares two videolaryngoscopes, the Endolarenx and the Besdata, for placing a breathing tube in children aged 2 to 10 who need general anesthesia for elective surgery. Researchers will record how long intubation takes and how clearly the vocal cords can be seen. The study includes 60 children with expected normal airways and excludes those with known difficult airways or recent respiratory infections.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- intubation with a videolaryngoscope (Endolarenx or Besdata brand)
- What this could lead to
- If one device proves faster or gives a clearer view, anesthesiologists could choose it for children with expected normal airways, potentially making intubation smoother.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study of 60 children with expected normal airways, so the findings may not apply to children with difficult airways or to other devices. It compares two specific brands and cannot show that either device improves outcomes.
