Comparing Laringocel® and C‑MAC® video laryngoscopes for placing breathing tubes during elective surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized, single-center trial will enroll 252 adults undergoing elective surgery at Hospital Alma Máter de Antioquia and assign them 1:1 to intubation with either Laringocel® or the C‑MAC D‑Blade®. Only trained anesthesiologists will perform orotracheal intubation using the assigned video laryngoscope. The primary outcome is first-attempt intubation success (first-pass rate), with procedural details and safety data recorded for each case. The goal is to determine whether the locally made Laringocel® performs similarly to the widely used C‑MAC device and could offer a lower-cost option.
