First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether pushing the jaw forward (jaw thrust) helps doctors place a breathing tube using a video laryngoscope. It involves 132 adults having elective surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see if this simple maneuver reduces the need for extra steps to get the tube in place.
