Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study compares two airway devices that are commonly used during elective surgery: the video laryngeal mask airway (VLM) and the video laryngoscope (VLS). Both are part of routine anesthesia practice. Our main focus is to measure how long intubation takes with each device and to see how successful the intubation is. The study does not involve any extra procedures or risks; everything will be carried out as part of normal patient care.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this prospective observational study, we will compare two airway devices commonly used during elective surgeries: the video laryngeal mask airway (SaCoVLM) and the video laryngoscope. The study will involve adult patients (18 years and older, ASA physical status I-III) scheduled to undergo surgery under general anesthesia at Samsun University Training and Research Hospital.

Patients will be assigned to one of two groups. In one group, intubation will be performed using a video laryngoscope; in the other group, a video laryngeal mask will be used. In both groups, tracheal intubation will be carried out with the assistance of a bougie after device placement.

The primary outcome of the study will be intubation time, defined as the duration from insertion of the device until successful confirmation of tracheal intubation. Secondary outcomes will include ease of insertion, the need for additional maneuvers, and complications such as desaturation, trauma, or failed attempts.

Since both techniques, as well as bougie use, are already part of routine anesthesia practice, no extra interventions or risks will be introduced. The aim of the study is to compare the performance of these two devices under everyday clinical conditions.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Video Laryngoscope

Tracheal intubation using a video laryngoscope assisted with a bougie in adult patients undergoing elective surgery.

Video Laryngeal Mask Airway (SaCoVLM) Intubation with Bougie

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Participants in this group will undergo tracheal intubation using a video laryngeal mask airway (SaCoVLM) under general anesthesia. After successful placement of the device, a standard bougie will be inserted through the SaCoVLM's dedicated lumen, and an endotracheal tube will be advanced over the bougie into the trachea under video guidance.

The primary outcome will be intubation time, defined as the duration from device insertion to confirmation of successful intubation. Secondary outcomes include intubation success rate, ease of insertion, and complications such as desaturation, trauma, or failed attempts. As both techniques are part of routine practice, no additional risks will be introduced.

Video Laryngeal Mask Airway (SaCoVLM)

Tracheal intubation performed through a video laryngeal mask airway (SaCoVLM) with bougie assistance in adult patients undergoing elective surgery.

Video Laryngoscope Intubation with Bougie

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Participants in this group will undergo tracheal intubation using a video laryngoscope under general anesthesia. After induction, a standard bougie will be advanced through the vocal cords under video guidance, and the endotracheal tube will be railroaded over the bougie into the trachea.

The primary outcome will be intubation time, measured from insertion of the device until confirmation of successful tracheal intubation. Additional parameters such as intubation success rate, ease of insertion, and complications (e.g., desaturation, airway trauma, failed attempts) will also be recorded. No extra procedures will be performed beyond routine airway management.
