Comparing Intubation Speed and Success Using ProVu Video Stylet With and Without the Fekry Airway in Adults with Normal Airways

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are comparing two methods of assisted intubation in adults with a normal airway undergoing elective surgery. The study evaluates the ProVu video stylet device used with versus without the Fekry airway as a conduit. The goal is to determine if using the Fekry airway improves the view of the vocal cords and increases the success rate of the first intubation attempt. The study includes two groups one group will receive intubation using the ProVu video stylet without the Fekry airway, and the other group will have intubation assisted by the ProVu video stylet using the Fekry airway. The ProVu video stylet features a flexible tip controlled by a wheel, allowing precise movement to aid intubation. Both the stylet and tracheal tubes are single-use and paired with high-resolution video displays for airway visualization. Participants will be monitored for the time taken to successfully complete intubation within 15 minutes before surgery. The study includes adults aged 18 to 65 years with normal airway status and scheduled for general anesthesia lasting less than two hours. Researchers will assess intubation performance and safety throughout the procedure. The total duration of participation corresponds to the preoperative period leading up to intubation.
