New video mask may improve breathing tube placement in surgery
NCT ID NCT07361042
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new video laryngeal mask with the classic version for helping patients breathe during general anesthesia. Researchers will measure how often the mask is placed correctly on the first try, how quickly it works, and any side effects. About 417 adults having planned surgery will take part.
