Comparing two breathing methods for voice box surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during surgery on your voice box or windpipe without using a breathing tube. One method uses gentle puffs of air, and the other delivers warm, humidified oxygen through small prongs in your nose.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older
- You need surgery on your voice box or windpipe that does not use a breathing tube
- You are not at high risk for food or liquid entering your lungs (aspiration)
- You agree to give written permission (informed consent) to participate

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.
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 study compares two different ways of helping you breathe during lung surgery to see which one works better. If you are having lung surgery with a small camera (video-assisted), this study might help improve your recovery.
This study tests two tools used to help you breathe during general anesthesia for planned surgery. The goal is to find out which one is easier and safer for patients like you.
This study compares two ways of helping you breathe while you are sedated for an endoscopy of your throat, voice box, and esophagus. It aims to find which method is safer and more comfortable for patients like you.
