Summary

This study will compare three devices used to help breathing tubes into the windpipe (intubation) in ICU patients. Doctors wearing face shields will use either a C-Mac video laryngoscope, a Pentax video laryngoscope, or a traditional Macintosh laryngoscope. The main goal is to see which tool allows successful tube placement on the first try. The study includes 84 adults aged 18-65 who need planned intubation.

What this could mean

What this could lead to: If successful, this study could identify which laryngoscope works best when healthcare workers wear face shields, improving intubation success in ICUs.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study (84 participants) comparing devices, not testing a new treatment. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.
