Study of airway management during adult anesthesia (PAPAYA III)
This study watches how breathing tubes and masks are managed during anesthesia to improve safety. It is for any adult who needs airway help during a procedure, whether planned or emergency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are having a procedure that needs help with your breathing (like a breathing tube or mask) while you are under anesthesia
- You can give consent for the study, or you already have a general consent on file

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study observes how breathing tube placement (intubation) and other airway care are done during general anesthesia in the operating room and in other anesthesia settings. It may help improve airway management practices in different clinical environments, but you would typically not receive a new treatment as part of an experimental trial.
This trial studies care during placing a breathing tube (tracheal intubation) in children having general anesthesia. It may help improve safety and outcomes around the breathing tube process.
This study tests an automated tool to help doctors assess your airway before surgery, aiming to make breathing tube placement safer. It is for adults who are already scheduled for general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
This study collects information about how breathing tubes are placed in emergency room patients to improve safety and outcomes. It may help doctors learn better ways to manage airways during emergencies.
This study looks at whether a combined airway method during general anesthesia can reduce unpleasant or risky “emergence” problems as you wake up. It is for people having planned laparoscopic (camera) surgery and who can follow fasting and consent rules.
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.
