Testing a new breathing tube in elective surgeries
This trial tests a new device called SafeLM that helps you breathe during surgery. It may be used instead of a standard breathing tube for people having planned surgery with general anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new breathing tube (called a SaCo VLMA) for patients having short laparoscopic (keyhole) surgeries under general anesthesia. The goal is to see if this tube works well and is safe for keeping the airway open during surgery.
This trial tests a video laryngeal mask (a breathing tube with a camera) used by military medics for airway management during planned surgeries. It aims to see if it works well for patients needing help breathing during anesthesia.
This study tests two tools used to help you breathe during general anesthesia for planned surgery. The goal is to find out which one is easier and safer for patients like you.
This trial compares a new video laryngoscope to a standard one for placing a special breathing tube used in lung surgeries. It aims to see which device works better for patients having planned chest operations.
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.
