Videolaryngoscope vs VideoLMA for Endotracheal Intubation in RIRS

Comparison of Videolaryngoscope and VideoLMA for Endotracheal Intubation in Patients Undergoing Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study is a prospective, randomized, parallel-group clinical trial comparing videolaryngoscope and videoLMA for endotracheal intubation in adult patients undergoing surgery. Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups. The primary outcome is intubation time. Secondary outcomes include first attempt success rate, number of attempts, oxygen desaturation, hemodynamic changes, and postoperative complications.

Airway management is a critical component of anesthesia practice. Videolaryngoscopes and videoLMA devices are widely used tools for endotracheal intubation. While videolaryngoscopes provide improved visualization of the glottis, videoLMA devices can facilitate both airway management and guided intubation.

In this prospective randomized study, 100 patients will be assigned to either videolaryngoscope or videoLMA groups. Standard anesthesia induction will be applied. Intubation time, success rates, hemodynamic responses, and complications will be recorded and analyzed.

Inclusion Criteria:

Adults aged 18 years and older ASA physical status I-III Patients scheduled for surgery requiring endotracheal intubation Ability to provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of tracheostomy Known or predicted difficult airway Presence of oral mass or tumor Pregnant patients Patients unable to provide informed consent Patients requiring reoperation within 24 hours
