ProVu Video Stylet With Versus Without the Fekry Airway
Comparison of Intubation Time and Performance Between the ProVu Video Stylet With Versus Without the Fekry Airway in Adults With Normal Airway: A Single-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial
Cairo University
130 participants
May 10, 2026
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study aimed to compare assisted intubation using the ProVu video stylet device passing through Fekry airway versus intubation without the use of Fekry airway . The investigators hypothesized that endotracheal intubation assisted by ProVu video stylet using the Fekry airway as a conduit for intubation would improve the glottic visualization and the higher first attempt success rate when compared to endotracheal intubation assisted by ProVu video stylet without using the Fekry airway.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria3
