Testing a new breathing device during planned surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares a new breathing device (used with a hand-held bag) to a standard breathing machine during planned surgeries. Researchers want to see if the new device works just as well for people under general anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older)
- You are scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) surgery at Rhode Island Hospital
- You will have general anesthesia (be completely asleep during surgery)
- Your health status is rated ASA 1 or 2 (you are generally healthy or have mild health issues)
- You do not have severe respiratory disease (like serious COPD or asthma)
- You do not have a facial or mouth/throat problem that could interfere with breathing devices

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 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.
This study looks at how well a special device can be used in children to understand breathing problems related to chest and belly movement. It may help researchers improve care for kids who have breathing distress.
This study tests a new device called the Origin Intubation System, which helps doctors place a breathing tube during surgery. If you qualify, you may have this device used during your operation to help you breathe while you are asleep.
This trial tests a new portable device that helps people breathe without using a tube in the windpipe. It may be an option for older adults who need breathing support but are not in the hospital for a sudden illness.
This trial tests a new breathing exercise device designed to help your lungs recover after heart surgery. It may make your breathing easier and speed up your return to daily activities.
