Evaluating factors for successful videolaryngoscopic intubation without a stylet
A Prospective Observational Study of Predictive Factors for Successful Videolaryngoscopic Intubation Without Stylet
This study is trying to find out what factors help make videolaryngoscopic intubation successful without using a stylet in adults having surgery that needs general anesthesia.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to identify predictive factors that contribute to the success of videolaryngoscopic intubation performed without the use of a stylet. By analyzing various patient characteristics and clinical scenarios, the investigators hope to enhance the understanding of what influences successful intubation outcomes. The study will involve patients aged 19 and older who are undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgeries that require endotracheal intubation. The findings could lead to improved protocols and training for anesthesiologists.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 19 and older undergoing elective surgery requiring endotracheal intubation.
Not a fit: Patients with suspected cervical spine injuries, those requiring rapid sequence induction, or those with a history of difficult intubation may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve intubation success rates and patient safety during anesthesia.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored factors influencing intubation success, but this specific approach focusing on videolaryngoscopy without a stylet is relatively novel.
