Study Summary

This trial compares how the neck moves when a patient is being intubated using the C-MAC Video Stylet versus Flexible Bronchoscopy.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 18-80 who need oral intubation for elective non-cardiac surgery and are in good to moderate health (ASA physical status 1-3). It's not suitable for those outside this age range or with different surgical requirements.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two methods of guiding a tube into the windpipe during anesthesia: C-MAC Video Stylet (VS) and Flexible Bronchoscopy. The goal is to see which causes less movement in the neck spine, which can be important for patient safety.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, or voice changes due to irritation from the intubation devices. There might also be risks associated with moving the cervical spine during intubation.
