Comparison of Intubation Using Video Laryngeal Mask and Video Laryngoscope in Elective Surgical Patients

Turkey (Türkiye)176 participantsStarted 2025-09-01

Plain-language summary

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.
