Study Summary

This trial is comparing two ways of intubating patients to see which is more successful and efficient.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for anaesthesiologists who are new to using the C-MAC VS device, with minimal experience in fiberoptic oral intubation (no more than 5 times in the past year). They must be able to provide informed consent and complete case reports in English. Those not available throughout the study or experienced with the devices are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to compare two intubation tools: C-MAC Video Stylet (VS) and a standard flexible video endoscope. It will measure how successful each tool is on the first try and how long it takes to perform an intubation by anaesthesiologists learning these methods.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves medical procedures rather than drugs, side effects may include potential complications related to intubation such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, or less commonly, injury to teeth or airway structures.
