Study on tube placement during neck surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial looks at placing the breathing tube deeper during neck surgery to see if it reduces throat discomfort. It may help people who are about to have anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) surgery.

This trial tests whether pressing on a specific part of the neck (cricoid pressure) helps doctors place a breathing tube more safely when using a camera (videolaryngoscopy) compared to the standard method (direct laryngoscopy).
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.
