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 trial tests two types of breathing tubes (SafeLM and I-gel) to see which works better for people having shoulder surgery while sitting up. It aims to find a safer way to keep your airway open during the procedure.
This trial is testing a new device to help keep your airway open during painless upper and lower endoscopy. It may be helpful for people who are already healthy enough for routine sedation.
This trial tests three tools doctors use to place a breathing tube during general anesthesia. It aims to find which device works best on the first try for adults having surgery.
This trial tests a new device (Origin Intubation System) to help doctors place a breathing tube during surgery. If you are having planned surgery with general anesthesia and need a breathing tube, this study may be for you.
This study tests a tiny, ultra-sensitive device that monitors your breathing during surgery or oxygen therapy. Researchers want to see if this new technology can better track how well your lungs are working compared to standard monitors.
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.
