ProVu Video Stylet With Versus Without the Fekry Airway

May 5, 2026 updated by: Reham Ali Abdelhaleem Abdelrahman, Cairo University

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

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Group C (n=55): Intubation using the ProVu video stylet without the Fekry Airway.
The ProVu™ video stylet's novelty is a manoeuvrable tip controlled by a bidirectional wheel enabling flexion and retroflexion both of the stylet and tracheal tube with a 95° range of movement. It requires a specific tracheal tube where a softer polyvinyl chloride material is utilised in its distal section underneath the cuff enabling the tip to be flexed. Both the tracheal tube and video stylet are single-use and come with a range of high-resolution reusable video displays for a shared view of the airway
Device: ProVu video stylet and Fekry Airway
Group F (n =55): endotracheal Intubation assisted by the ProVu video stylet and using Fekry Airway
Other: Group F (n =55): endotracheal Intubation assisted by the ProVu video stylet and using Fekry Airway
