Handheld device for safe throat pressure in healthy staff
This study tests a new handheld device designed to help healthcare workers apply the correct amount of pressure to the neck during emergency procedures. It involves healthy volunteers from the anesthesia and perioperative teams to see if the device is accurate and easy to use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a staff member in anesthesia or perioperative services.
- You must not have skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
- You must not be pregnant.
- You must not have a history of neck or throat injury or any anatomical abnormality in that area.

This study tests two different methods of applying pressure to the neck during general anesthesia to see which one keeps the breathing tube placement safer. It may help reduce risks during intubation.
This study tests whether applying gentle pressure to one side of the neck during general anesthesia affects oxygen levels in the brain. It aims to see if this safe technique could help protect the brain during surgery.
This study compares two ways of checking the pressure of the breathing tube in your windpipe during surgery: the standard method (feeling the cuff by hand) versus a special measuring device. The goal is to see if using the device reduces problems after surgery, like sore throat or other side effects.
This study tests a new neck device that uses gentle suction to help with breathing during sleep. It may be an option for people without sleep disorders or neck problems.
This trial tests whether different ways of measuring the pressure in the breathing tube during breast surgery can reduce complications after surgery. It compares standard methods to a more precise one to see which works better.
This study tests if a special training method for doctors (called loss-of-resistance syringe training) can help keep the air pressure in your breathing tube at a safe level during anesthesia. The goal is to reduce throat soreness after surgery.
