Test of a throat breathing device for people with neck radiation
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests how well a specific airway device works during general anesthesia for people who had radiation therapy to the neck. It may help improve safety and comfort during planned surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Be having an elective surgery that uses general anesthesia
- Have had prior radiation therapy to your neck
- Your plan for breathing during surgery should mainly be general anesthesia using this airway approach
- You should not have a known history of difficult tube placement (difficult intubation)
- You must be willing to participate (no refusal)

This study tests a newer type of video laryngoscope (a tool with a camera to help place a breathing tube) to see if it works well and safely for all adult patients having surgery with general anesthesia. The goal is to make sure the tube is placed correctly and to learn why it might be difficult in some patients, helping improve anesthesia care for everyone.
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.
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.
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.
This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during general anesthesia to see which works better for people having trauma surgery. It aims to find which tube provides safer and easier airway management during the procedure.
This study tests a computer program that helps doctors plan a safe way to place a breathing tube during surgery for laryngeal cancer. If you are scheduled for surgery and need an awake intubation, this program may help improve your airway safety.
