About this study
Official title: A Novel Endoscopy-Guided Airway Management Strategy for Lateral Decubitus Endoscopic Procedures
This case series study evaluated whether placing a breathing tube using a camera (gastrointestinal endoscope) is safe and effective for patients lying on their left side during stomach and intestine exams under anesthesia. The main questions were:
How often does the tube placement work on the first try? How long does it take to place the tube? Are there any safety issues, like injuries or breathing problems?
Read more
Researchers enrolled 40 adults needing anesthesia for stomach/intestine exams. All participants had the breathing tube placed while lying on their left side using the camera-guided method. The steps included:
Positioning the patient on their left side with head/neck support. Inserting a lubricated camera through the mouth to view the throat. Placing the breathing tube into the windpipe under direct camera view.
The method avoided the risks of moving anesthetized patients from their back to the side. It may reduce risks linked to repositioning patients during surgery. Future studies with more participants and different medical teams are needed to confirm these results.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The success rate of the first intubation attempt and intubation time (from endoscope insertion to tube connection)
Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This case series study evaluated whether placing a breathing tube using a camera (gastrointestinal endoscope) is safe and effective for patients lying on their left side during stomach and intestine exams under anesthesia. The main questions were:
How often does the tube placement work on the first try? How long does it take to place the tube? Are there any safety issues, like injuries or breathing problems?

The method avoided the risks of moving anesthetized patients from their back to the side. It may reduce risks linked to repositioning patients during surgery. Future studies with more participants and different medical teams are needed to confirm these results.
