NCT ID NCT06964295
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two devices—a videolaryngoscope and a flexible bronchoscope—for placing a breathing tube through the nose during ear, nose, and throat surgery. Researchers will measure which device succeeds on the first try more often, and track side effects like sore throat and hoarseness. The goal is to find the safer, more effective method for patients.
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 one device proves more reliable, it could become the preferred tool for nasotracheal intubation, reducing patient discomfort and injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (74 participants) comparing two established devices, so any advantage may be modest or not apply to all patients.
