Recruiting studies
- NCT06453525Recruiting
Automated assessment of difficult airway before surgery
This study tests an automated tool to help doctors assess your airway before surgery, aiming to make breathing tube placement safer. It is for adults who are already scheduled for general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
LausanneAges 18–100 - NCT06576596Recruiting
Oxygen during breathing tube placement in children
This study tests a method to keep children breathing easily while their airway is being prepared for surgery. It may help children who are 0-6 years old and having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges birth–6 years - NCT07027293Recruiting
Comparing two airway devices in elderly patients
This trial tests whether placing the I-gel or classic laryngeal mask airway in different head positions works better for elderly patients during surgery. It aims to find the safest way to help you breathe while you are asleep.
IstanbulAges 75 years+ - NCT06950957Recruiting
Comparing two airway devices for septoplasty
This trial compares a video laryngeal mask with a breathing tube during septoplasty (nose surgery) to see which works better. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join.
Samsun, IlkadimAges 18–65 - NCT07522957Recruiting
Comparing Two Airway Devices for Children During Surgery
This study compares two soft plastic airway devices (I-Gel and Air-Q) used to help children breathe safely during surgery. The trial will determine which device works better and is safer for children aged 1–10 years.
Ankara, EtlikAges 1–10 - NCT05759299Recruiting
Airway management study during anesthesia with intubation
This study observes how breathing tube placement (intubation) and other airway care are done during general anesthesia in the operating room and in other anesthesia settings. It may help improve airway management practices in different clinical environments, but you would typically not receive a new treatment as part of an experimental trial.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07340255Recruiting
Safe airway pressure during anesthesia start
This study tests the best air pressure to use with a mask to keep air out of the stomach when you first go to sleep for surgery. It helps make anesthesia safer and more comfortable for you.
JiaxingAges 18–65 - NCT04498598Recruiting
Test a modified breathing device for the voice box area
This study tests a modified supraglottic airway device (a type of breathing aid placed above the vocal cords) during surgeries done under general anesthesia. It may help researchers see if a better-shaped device works more safely during planned surgeries that use muscle relaxation.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–100 - NCT05989880Recruiting
Testing a new breathing tube in elective surgeries
This trial tests a new device called SafeLM that helps you breathe during surgery. It may be used instead of a standard breathing tube for people having planned surgery with general anesthesia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06825910Recruiting
Comparing two breathing masks for urologic surgery
This trial tests two different types of laryngeal masks (breathing tubes that sit in the throat) to see which works better during minor urologic procedures. It is for adults having surgery in a lying-down position (on the back or with legs in stirrups) under general anesthesia.
AthensAges 18–90 - NCT07384611Recruiting
Predicting difficult airway in children before surgery
This study looks at ways to predict if putting a breathing tube in a child's windpipe during planned surgery will be difficult. It aims to help doctors prepare better and keep children safe.
AnkaraAges 1 day–12 years - NCT07204990Recruiting
Swapping breathing tubes before waking for safer recovery
This study looks at whether replacing a breathing tube (endotracheal tube) with a mask-like device (laryngeal mask airway) before the child wakes up from anesthesia can make recovery smoother and safer.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges birth–16 years - NCT06990308Enrolling by invitation
Comparing breathing tube removal methods
This study compares two ways of removing the breathing tube (extubation) after surgery: one with the tube's cuff inflated and one with it deflated. It aims to see which method may be safer and more comfortable for patients having short, non-airway surgeries.
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North CarolinaAges 18–50 - NCT06953414Recruiting
Predicting difficult awake breathing tube placement
This study tests a way to predict which patients will have a hard time placing a breathing tube while they are awake, using a flexible scope. It aims to help doctors plan safer procedures for people with known difficult airways.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07017283Recruiting
Comparing two sedation methods for older adults having ERCP
This study compares two ways of keeping you comfortable and safe during an ERCP procedure: deeper sedation with a breathing tube versus deep sedation without a breathing tube. It aims to find which method causes fewer side effects in older adults.
Hangzhou, ZhijiangAges 60 years+ - NCT07287293Recruiting
Suctioning vs no suctioning when waking from anesthesia
This trial compares two ways of managing your breathing tube when you wake up from general anesthesia: suctioning the tube or not. It aims to see which method is more comfortable and safer for you after surgery.
Samut SakhonAges 18 years+ - NCT07249983Recruiting
Video laryngeal mask study for military medics
This trial tests a video laryngeal mask (a breathing tube with a camera) used by military medics for airway management during planned surgeries. It aims to see if it works well for patients needing help breathing during anesthesia.
Prague, PragueAges 18–65 - NCT06117176Recruiting
Study of airway management during adult anesthesia (PAPAYA III)
This study watches how breathing tubes and masks are managed during anesthesia to improve safety. It is for any adult who needs airway help during a procedure, whether planned or emergency.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT07368179Enrolling by invitation
Neck Access Study for Kids
This study tests how doctors get emergency access to a child's neck. It may help doctors find the best method for fragile kids.
BernAges 25–65 - NCT07114549Recruiting
Validating a tool to predict difficult mask ventilation
This study tests whether a scoring system (MASCAN) can correctly predict if a patient will be difficult to ventilate using a facemask during surgery. It aims to improve safety by identifying high-risk patients before anesthesia begins.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07245511Recruiting
Comparing intubation difficulty scales in children
This study compares three different scales used to measure how difficult it is to place a breathing tube using a video laryngoscope (a special camera tool) in children. It may help determine the best way to predict and manage airway challenges during surgery.
Ankara, TurkiyeAges 5–18 - NCT02708836Recruiting
Tests safer airway method to reduce anesthesia “waking up” issues
This study looks at whether a combined airway method during general anesthesia can reduce unpleasant or risky “emergence” problems as you wake up. It is for people having planned laparoscopic (camera) surgery and who can follow fasting and consent rules.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07332806Recruiting
When to remove the breathing tube after robot surgery
This study looks at whether removing the breathing tube in the operating room versus the recovery room affects how quickly the operating room is ready for the next surgery. If you are having robot-assisted surgery with general anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06925282Recruiting
Breathing help during airway surgery
This study looks at what factors make some patients need extra breathing support during airway surgery when using a special oxygen delivery method called THRIVE. The goal is to better understand who might need additional help to keep their oxygen levels safe.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for airway anesthesia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 28 recruiting airway anesthesia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a airway anesthesia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a airway anesthesia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
