Comparing two ways to remove a breathing tube after laparoscopy
This trial compares removing the breathing tube while you are still deeply asleep versus waking you up first before removing it. It is for people having laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic surgery (keyhole surgery) under general anesthesia.
- Your health is classified as ASA I, II, or III (generally healthy or with well-controlled medical conditions).
- You do not have a known difficult airway or full stomach.
- You are not pregnant, not having emergency surgery, and your BMI is 30 or below.
- You have not used remifentanil during the tube removal and are not a chronic pain patient on opioids.

This study watches how patients do after a breathing tube is removed (extubation) in the operating room, ICU, or other anesthesia areas. It aims to learn about complications and improve care.
This study compares how well patients recover from the breathing tube (extubation) after surgery, depending on whether it happens during the day or at night. The goal is to see if there are more breathing complications at night so hospitals can improve care.
This study compares two ways of removing the breathing tube (extubation) after surgery: one with the tube's cuff inflated and one with it deflated. It aims to see which method may be safer and more comfortable for patients having short, non-airway surgeries.
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.
This study compares two ways of removing the breathing tube (extubation) in patients who are ready to breathe on their own: taking the tube out right away, or doing a trial of breathing without the machine first. It is for people who are at low risk of needing the tube put back in.
This trial compares two ways of managing your breathing tube when you wake up from general anesthesia: suctioning the tube or not. It aims to see which method is more comfortable and safer for you after surgery.
