New study tests video laryngeal mask against standard intubation
NCT ID NCT07365449
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two different ways to help patients breathe during surgery under general anesthesia. It compared a newer video laryngeal mask (SaCoVLM) with the traditional direct laryngoscopy method. Researchers measured blood pressure changes and how often the breathing tube was placed correctly on the first try in 204 adults having elective surgery.
