First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study compared two devices used to place a breathing tube during kidney stone surgery: a videolaryngoscope and a VideoLMA. Researchers measured how long each took and how often they worked on the first try. The trial involved 100 adults and aimed to find which device might be better for airway management.
