Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18 years and older) who are critically ill and require endotracheal intubation via laryngoscopy.

Probably not a fit

Patients for whom AI guidance is contraindicated or not beneficial due to specific anatomy or emergent conditions may not experience improved outcomes.

What this trial studies

This interventional trial compares an AI-powered video laryngoscope (AIVL) with conventional video laryngoscopy during endotracheal intubation in critically ill adults. The device uses AI to identify airway structures in real time to guide placement. Participants are adults in critical condition requiring intubation, and the study examines whether the AI-guided tool improves success rate and speed of intubation compared with standard devices. Randomization is used where possible to compare methods, with safety exclusions for certain airway or emergency scenarios. The study is conducted at the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Shaoxing Central Hospital in Zhejiang, China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the AI-assisted laryngoscope could make emergency airway placement faster and more reliable for critically ill patients.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies with AI-assisted airway tools have shown promise in improving visualization and guidance during intubation, but this exact approach is being evaluated in this emergency setting.
