Cheaper video laryngoscope put to the test in infant intubation trial

NCT ID NCT07351227

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two video laryngoscopes—the standard McGRATH™ MAC and the newer BESDATA BD-DF—for placing breathing tubes in infants during surgery. Researchers want to see if the BESDATA device works just as well on the first try and is more cost-effective. About 226 children aged 6 months to 3 years will be randomly assigned to one device during elective surgery.

Active substance

videolaryngoscope device

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could show that a more affordable video laryngoscope works as well as a standard one for infant intubation, potentially reducing healthcare costs without compromising safety.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage comparison study, not a large trial. Results may not apply to all hospitals or age groups, and the cheaper device might still prove less effective or have hidden costs.
