Official title: Tracheal Tube Cuff Inflation-Deflation Method for Video Assisted Laryngoscope Nasal Intubation in Adults
Run by Suez Canal University · NCT05455723 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether a new way of putting a tube in the nose during dental or facial surgery is faster and safer than the traditional method for adults.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 60 scheduled for elective dental or maxillofacial surgery requiring nasal intubation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with coagulopathies, upper airway abnormalities, or those at risk for aspiration will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to compare the cuff inflation-deflation method with the conventional Magill forceps technique for nasal intubation in adult patients undergoing elective dental or maxillofacial surgery. The study will assess whether the inflation-deflation technique is quicker and associated with fewer complications, such as cuff perforation and mucosal injury. Ninety participants aged 18 to 60, with ASA physical status I-II, will be randomly assigned to one of the two techniques. The trial will be conducted in a blinded manner to ensure objective assessment of outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to a safer and more efficient method for nasal intubation, reducing complications and procedure time for patients.
How similar studies have gone: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific comparison of cuff inflation-deflation versus Magill forceps for nasal intubation is relatively novel.
