Evaluation of intubation and intensive care use of the new Ambu® aScope™ 4 broncho and Ambu® aView™ compared to a customary flexible endoscope a multicentre prospective, non-interventional study

ConclusionPossible reasons for the higher acceptability of and preference for the aScope 4 Broncho are the manoeuvrability of the scope and the optimised visualisation during tracheal intubation or of the bronchial system. Because of these benefits, any encountered risks may be reduced in patients undergoing bronchoscopic procedures, including in critically ill and presurgical/medical patients.Clinicaltrials.govNCT03294213.
