Which intubation method works best for acromegaly patients?
NCT ID NCT07659912
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how to safely place a breathing tube in people with acromegaly, a condition that can cause changes in the face and airway. It compares two methods: direct laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy. The goal is to find which method gives a better view of the airway and reduces difficulty during intubation. Adults with acromegaly or nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas who need surgery under general anesthesia will take part.
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 could lead to better intubation guidelines for acromegaly patients, reducing complications during surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study with only 40 participants, so findings may not apply to all patients. It does not test a new treatment.
