Comparing two breathing methods for voice box surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to help you breathe during surgery on your voice box or windpipe when no breathing tube is used: one uses a small jet of air through a needle, and the other delivers warm, moist oxygen through a special nose mask. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for planned surgery on your voice box or windpipe that will be done without a breathing tube.
- You are able to sign a consent form to participate.
- You do not have a high risk of food or liquid accidentally going into your lungs during surgery.

This trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during throat, voice box, or food pipe exams done with a scope. It aims to find which method is safer and works better for people who do not need extra oxygen.
This trial tests a new video-guided method (SaCoVLM) against a standard scope (fiberoptic bronchoscope) to see which places the laryngeal mask better in patients getting general anesthesia for short surgeries. It may help improve airway management.
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 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 compares two types of breathing tubes used during robot-assisted esophageal cancer surgery. One tube blocks one lung (double-lumen tube) and the other tube uses a smaller blocker (bronchial blocker); researchers want to see which causes fewer voice box nerve injuries after surgery.
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.
