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

Summary

This study compares two video laryngoscopes used to place a breathing tube during general anesthesia. Researchers want to see if the Colombian-made Laringocel works as well as the widely used C-MAC D-Blade. 252 adults having elective surgery will be randomly assigned to one device. The main goal is how often the tube goes in correctly on the first try.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Laringocel® videolaryngoscope (device)

What this could lead to

If Laringocel works as well as the C-MAC D-Blade, it could offer a more affordable option for hospitals with limited resources.

What could go wrong

This is a single-center study with 252 participants, so results may not apply everywhere. The device may not perform as well as the established one.
