NCT ID NCT07174050
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a new video laryngoscope (King Vision) helps less experienced doctors place a breathing tube faster than the traditional method. Seventy adult patients having elective surgery took part. The goal was to see if the device reduces time and improves success on the first try.

- King Vision Channeled Video Laryngoscope
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that the King Vision videolaryngoscope helps novice doctors place breathing tubes faster and more easily than the traditional method.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or settings. The device may not improve outcomes for experienced users.
