Fibrescope vs video laryngoscope for nasal intubation during 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 interventional study compares two techniques for nasotracheal intubation in adults having surgery under general anesthesia. One group uses a flexible fibrescope with a pre-loaded tube, and the other uses a video laryngoscope to guide the tube through the nose into the trachea. The aim is to see if the fibrescope reduces nasal trauma and bleeding and improves first-attempt success. The trial will enroll patients 18 years or older who require nasal intubation for elective procedures and do not have exclusion criteria such as high ASA status or inability to consent. Outcomes will focus on nasal trauma, bleeding, and first-pass success rate.
