Test a modified breathing device for the voice box area
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older).
- Your surgery is planned under general anesthesia.
- You will have a breathing setup that includes an endotracheal tube and muscle-relaxing medicines.
- You must be able to give consent and understand the study information.
- Your surgery cannot be an emergency, and it should be a planned (not last-minute) procedure.

This study is testing a new scoring system to help doctors predict if placing a breathing tube or giving oxygen through a mask will be difficult. It includes adults having general anesthesia for stomach or bone surgery.
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.
This trial tests a special mouth-and-throat device designed to help you breathe easier during a routine endoscopy or colonoscopy. If you are a generally healthy adult scheduled for one of these procedures, you may be able to join.
This study tests a method to place a breathing tube through a special airway device (a supraglottic airway device) without using a camera. The goal is to see if this approach works on the first try for adults having planned surgery with general anesthesia.
This study compares two ways to help you breathe during surgery on your voice box or windpipe when no breathing tube is used: one uses a small jet of air through a needle, and the other delivers warm, moist oxygen through a special nose mask. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer.
This study tests a supraglottic airway device (a tube that sits above the voice box) versus a face mask for helping premature babies breathe right after birth. It may help doctors choose the best way to support your baby's first breaths.
