SaCoVLM™ video laryngeal mask for airway management by military medics

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 is a prospective, two-phase interventional project training military medics with limited airway experience to use the SaCoVLM™ video laryngeal mask and then observing their performance in clinical cases. Phase 1 uses manikin-based simulation to measure device placement, visualization quality, and intubation success and times under controlled conditions. Phase 2 enrolls adult patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia to record first-attempt success rates, insertion and intubation times, glottic visualization scores, and complication rates. The overall aim is to see if the device can enable safe and effective airway management in resource-limited and prehospital military settings.
