Which airway tool is faster? new study to compare two video devices
NCT ID NCT07057908
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will compare two common airway devices used during elective surgery: the video laryngeal mask airway and the video laryngoscope. Researchers will measure how long it takes to place a breathing tube and how often it works on the first try. About 176 adults having planned surgery will take part, and all procedures are part of normal care.

Who is studied
Adult patients aged 18 years and older, classified as ASA I to III, who are scheduled to undergo elective surgical procedures under general anesthesia. All participants will require tracheal intubation using either a video laryngoscope or a video laryngeal mask airway (SaCoVLM), both with bougie assistance.
