About this study
Official title: Endotracheal Intubation in Supine Versus Lateral Position Using Different Tools of Laryngoscopy in Patients With Neck Masses: A Comparative Study
This study is aimed to compare different tools of endotracheal intubation in supine versus lateral position in patients with neck masses.
Primary outcome: is time taken for intubation.
Secondary outcomes:
- The success rate of first intubation trial.
- Hypoxia, Spo2 < 90%.
- Airway trauma like; dental and lip injury.
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group-SM | patients will be intubated in supine position in whom the Macintosh laryngoscope will be used | |
| Group-SV | patients will be intubated in supine position in whom the video-assisted laryngoscopy will be used | |
| Group-LM | patients will be intubated in lateral position in whom the Macintosh laryngoscope will be used | |
| Group-LV | patients will be intubated in lateral position in whom the video-assisted laryngoscopy will be used |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
time taken for intubation
the time for the laryngoscope to pass level of incisors till confirmation of tracheal intubation by capnography
Measured: periprocedural (less than 60 seconds)
Secondary outcomes (1)
- The success rate of first intubation trial.
Number of intubation attempts (an intubation attempt will be deemed failed if desaturation occurs Spo2 <90 % or intubation failed in <60 seconds). Intubations will be deemed failures after 3 intubation attempts.
Measured: through study completion (about 8 months)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Endotracheal Intubation Using Videolaryngoscope for General Anesthesia and Endotracheal Intubation Risk Assessment, run by Aswan University at 1 site in Egypt.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
time taken for intubation (time frame: periprocedural (less than 60 seconds)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Apr 2026.
