First seen Jan 25, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study tested two devices—a flexible scope alone or combined with a video laryngoscope—to help doctors place breathing tubes in 143 head and neck cancer patients before surgery. Both devices use a small camera to see the airway on a screen, aiming to reduce complications like pain or mouth injury. The goal was to find which method makes tube placement easier and faster.
