Head-Up position may ease tube insertion in simulated difficult airway
NCT ID NCT05671978
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether raising the head (head-elevated position) makes it easier to insert a breathing tube using a special video laryngoscope in patients whose neck was held still to mimic a difficult airway. 182 adults having planned surgery took part. The main goal was to measure how long it took to place the tube and how easy it was. The results help doctors choose the best patient position for this type of intubation.
