New study tests which breathing tube tool works best for C-Sections

NCT ID NCT07667010

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aims to see if it's possible to run a larger trial comparing two types of video laryngoscope blades used to help with breathing during cesarean sections under general anesthesia. The blades differ in their curve: one has a gentle curve (Macintosh-style) and the other has a more pronounced curve (hyperangulated). Researchers will enroll 100 pregnant patients undergoing emergency or urgent C-sections to test recruitment, adherence, and data completeness.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could pave the way for a larger trial that determines which blade type is safer or more effective for intubation during cesarean sections.

What could go wrong

This is a small feasibility study, not designed to prove which blade is better. It may not recruit enough participants or show clear differences between the blades.
