Comparing video laryngoscope plus video stylet versus video laryngoscope plus fibreoptic intubation for simulated difficult airways

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 crossover simulation compares three intubation techniques: video laryngoscope (VL) alone, VL plus video stylet (VS), and VL plus fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB). Participating anesthesiology medical officers with over two years' experience will perform each technique on a simulated difficult airway in randomized order, with a five-minute washout between attempts. The VL-only approach serves as the control standard, and sequence allocation is computer-randomized with equal proportions. Collected measures will include procedural success, time to intubation, and technical difficulties to inform practical airway management choices.
