IstanbulAges 75 years+ - 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 - NCT05967507Recruiting
Testing oxygen flow during infant airway tube placement
This trial studies how different oxygen flow rates affect breathing during the process of placing a breathing tube in babies. It may help clinicians choose safer oxygen settings during routine and urgent (but not life-threatening) airway management.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 12 months - NCT07776847Recruiting
Airway measurement study for laryngeal mask use in adults
This study looks at how differences in the throat and face affect the placement of a breathing tube used during surgery. It may help doctors choose the right size or position for better breathing support during procedures.
Düzce, DüzceAges 18 years+ - NCT07766382Recruiting
AI ultrasound check for breathing tube placement
This trial tests if an artificial intelligence system can help doctors use ultrasound to confirm that a breathing tube (called an LMA) is placed correctly during surgery. If the AI works well, it might make anesthesia safer for patients.
Düzce, DüzceAges 18 years+ - NCT06938308Recruiting
Comparing I-gel and Protector breathing devices during surgery
This study compares two types of breathing tubes (the I-gel and Protector) used during surgery to help you breathe. It looks at which one works better and is easier for doctors to use in certain body positions.
Athens, AtticaAges 18–90 - NCT07706309Recruiting
Comparing two ways to replace a breathing tube
This trial compares two methods for exchanging a breathing tube: using a bronchoscope (a thin camera) versus a special guide called an airway exchange catheter. It is conducted on Thiel-embalmed body donors to find the safest and most effective way to replace a breathing tube.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07775521Recruiting
Comparing two breathing tube methods for liver transplant surgery
This study compares two ways to help you breathe during liver transplant surgery: one uses a mask in your throat, the other uses a tube. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for people like you.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06954857Recruiting
Laryngeal mask placement in elderly patients
This trial tests a new way to place a breathing tube (laryngeal mask) using pressure monitoring to reduce side effects in older patients during surgery. It may help if you are 60 or older and having planned surgery that lasts 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 60 years+ - NCT06701253Recruiting
Ultrasound study of the upper airway
This study uses an ultrasound to look at the upper airway in adults having planned surgery with general anesthesia and a breathing tube. It may help doctors understand airway anatomy better.
Ioannina, EpirusAges 18–99 - NCT07501468Recruiting
Comparing two breathing devices for shoulder surgery
This trial tests two types of breathing tubes (SafeLM and I-gel) to see which works better for people having shoulder surgery while sitting up. It aims to find a safer way to keep your airway open during the procedure.
