Mask anesthesia with gentle throat pressure to prevent stomach air
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies a way to hold gentle pressure near the throat during mask anesthesia (with or without a breathing tube) to reduce air going into the stomach. It may help lower the chance of “stomach insufflation” during elective surgery in young children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is age 2 to 10 years
- The surgery is planned/elective (not an emergency or added last-minute)
- The anesthesia uses a mask with inhaled medicine at the start (inhalation induction)
- Your child’s overall health is fairly good (ASA 1 or 2)
- Parents/guardians can give consent, and the child can consent if able

This trial is testing if using less air pressure from the breathing machine during abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications. If you are at higher risk for breathing problems after surgery, this study may help find a safer way to manage your breathing during the operation.
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 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 study tests different air pressures during facemask breathing to find the best one that gives enough oxygen without pushing air into the stomach. It may help reduce stomach discomfort and complications during surgery for people with obesity.
This study tests two different ways of helping children breathe during anesthesia to see which one causes fewer breathing problems. It may help doctors choose the safest approach for kids having surgery.
This study compares how much air enters the stomach during surgery when using three different breathing tubes in children ages 1–10. The goal is to understand which tube design is safest and causes the least stomach bloating during anesthesia.
