Ultrasound check of laryngeal mask airway in children
This study uses ultrasound to check how well a laryngeal mask airway (a breathing tube placed in the throat) is positioned in children during surgery. The goal is to see if the ultrasound findings relate to any breathing problems after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Patient is a child having surgery with general anesthesia and a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) for breathing.
- Patient does not need a breathing tube (orotracheal intubation) or other invasive airway device.
- Patient does not have known face or skull birth defects.
- Patient is not having surgery on the neck.

This study uses ultrasound to see the airway in children before surgery. It aims to predict if the child's airway will be easy or difficult to intubate (placing a breathing tube).
This study uses a special ultrasound to measure the airway just below the voice box in young children having surgery. The goal is to see if these measurements can help predict breathing problems after surgery.
This trial uses ultrasound to measure children's airways before surgery, aiming to predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult. It could help doctors prepare better and keep kids safer during anesthesia.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the airway and a special score (PeDiAC) in children getting breathing tubes for planned surgeries. The goal is to see if ultrasound can help doctors predict or manage the airway better.
This study looks at how differences in the throat and face affect the placement of a breathing tube used during surgery. It may help doctors choose the right size or position for better breathing support during procedures.
This study tests if an ultrasound of the neck can help doctors predict when it might be harder to place a breathing tube in a child. It could make anesthesia safer for children having planned surgery.
