ClinConnect Summary

The DAnish VIdeo IntubaTION (DA-VITION) Study is a clinical trial that aims to improve a medical procedure called endotracheal intubation, which is used to help patients breathe when they can't do so on their own. The study is focusing on training an artificial intelligence (AI) system to recognize important parts of the upper airway during this procedure, especially when it might be difficult or has failed in the past. By doing this, the researchers hope to make intubation safer and more effective for patients.

To participate in this trial, patients must be undergoing a specific type of intubation using a video system. However, not everyone can take part; for instance, patients with certain upper airway problems or those who have had previous equipment failures during intubation would be excluded. If eligible, participants can expect to be part of a study that seeks to enhance the technology used in medical procedures, ultimately aiming to improve patient care. Importantly, informed consent will always be required, meaning that patients or their guardians will need to understand and agree to participate before joining the study.
