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 trial compares two types of laryngeal masks (GMA-TULIP and I-gel) used to help patients breathe during trauma surgery. It aims to see which device works better and is safer for people having surgery lying on their back.
This study tests if a newer laryngeal mask reduces air in the stomach compared to the standard one during planned surgeries. It may help you breathe easier during anesthesia.
This trial tests three different breathing tube devices (laryngeal masks) used during general anesthesia when patients are lying on their side. The goal is to see which one works best for surgeries lasting less than three hours.
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.
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.
