New study aims to find the best blade for each Patient's airway
NCT ID NCT07370883
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will compare two types of videolaryngoscope blades (hyperangulated vs. Macintosh) in 524 adults undergoing general anesthesia to see which leads to higher first-attempt intubation success. The goal is to develop a predictive algorithm that personalizes blade selection based on individual airway features, potentially reducing complications and improving safety.
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 a personalized algorithm that helps doctors choose the best videolaryngoscope blade for each patient, potentially improving first-attempt intubation success rates.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study (not yet recruiting) focused on device comparison and algorithm development, not a treatment. Results may not apply to all patient groups or emergency settings.
