Rotating breathing tube before insertion study
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a small change in how doctors place a breathing tube for surgery. By gently rotating the tube before inserting it, they hope to reduce sore throats after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if using ultrasound with routine checks can better predict the best way to place a breathing tube during surgery. It aims to make intubation safer and more successful.
This study compares two methods (a special camera called a videolaryngoscope and an ultrasound) to help doctors choose the best way to place a breathing tube during surgery. It aims to make airway management safer and more personalized for patients like you.
This trial tests whether one type of breathing tube works better than another when used with a video laryngoscope without a stylet during surgery. It aims to help doctors succeed on the first try when placing the tube.
This study is testing a new way to predict whether placing a breathing tube will be difficult during surgery. It combines different measurements to help doctors plan safer anesthesia for you.
This study compares different sizes of a specialized breathing tube (endotracheal tube) used during surgery to see which size causes less sore throat afterward. If you're having elective surgery under general anesthesia, this trial may help reduce your post-surgery discomfort.
This study looks at whether replacing a breathing tube (endotracheal tube) with a mask-like device (laryngeal mask airway) before the child wakes up from anesthesia can make recovery smoother and safer.
