Comparing two breathing tubes during urology surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares a special breathing tube (LMA Protector) with a standard tube (ETT) to see which one works better for patients having planned urological surgery. It checks how easy it is to breathe with the machine and the risk of stomach contents getting into the lungs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for planned (not emergency) urological surgery of low or moderate difficulty
- You will be lying on your back with your legs up (lithotomy position)
- You do not have a high risk of stomach contents coming back up (like severe reflux, hiatal hernia, or obesity)

This study tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
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 compares two types of breathing tubes (the I-gel and Protector) used during surgery to help you breathe. It looks at which one works better and is easier for doctors to use in certain body positions.
This trial compares two different devices (a video laryngeal mask and a video laryngoscope) used to help you breathe during surgery. It aims to see which tool works better for placing a breathing tube in patients having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during surgery to see if one causes fewer lung infections after a type of lung surgery (wedge resection). If you are having this surgery, your participation may help find a safer way to breathe during the procedure.
This study compares two methods to insert a special breathing tube (double-lumen tube) for lung surgery. One method uses a camera on a flexible scope (fiberoptic bronchoscopy) and the other uses a video laryngoscope. Your participation could help doctors know which method works better.
