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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery
- Your health status is in the ASA 1 to 3 range (generally healthy to moderately well)
- You can give consent yourself
- You do not need translation services to consent
- You follow the hospital fasting (NPO) rules before surgery
- You are not considered high risk for stomach acid/reflux going into the lungs

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.
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.
This study compares different methods for placing a breathing tube while you are awake. It is for people who are having planned surgery and might have a difficult airway—for example, if doctors expect challenges with a face mask, a breathing tube, or if you have a short time before you stop breathing.
This study compares two ways of keeping your airway open during lung surgery to see if one leads to fewer chest infections (pneumonia) after the operation. Half the patients will get a breathing tube placed in the windpipe, and the other half will get a special mask over the voice box, so you have a 50/50 chance of receiving either.
This study tests whether using a special tube and monitoring technique during surgery can reduce breathing problems after the operation. It may help patients recover better after certain types of surgery.
This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube (called an LMA) during general anesthesia. It aims to see which method works best on the first try, which may help patients breathe safely during surgery.
