Two Videolaryngoscopes for Intubating Children: A Pediatric Comparison

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

The study compares two videolaryngoscope devices in children undergoing elective surgery who require general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. Outcomes include intubation time and a pediatric-specific intubation difficulty score (PeDiAC) compared to the traditional Cormack-Lehane classification. It aims to determine if there are differences in ease and safety of airway management between the Endolarenx and Besdata devices. The investigation builds on evidence that videolaryngoscopy may improve airway visualization but may alter the relationship between view quality and tube placement difficulty. No randomization is described, as this is an observational assessment of device performance in routine practice.
