Ultrasound to check breathing tube position in children's surgery
This study checks how well a soft breathing device (laryngeal mask) sits in children during surgery using ultrasound, and if any problems occur afterward. It may help doctors make anesthesia safer for kids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is having surgery with general anesthesia.
- A laryngeal mask airway (a soft breathing tube placed above the windpipe) will be used to help them breathe.
- Your child does not have any known facial or skull birth differences.
- The surgery is not on the neck.
- The surgery does not require a breathing tube placed into the windpipe (endotracheal tube).

This study uses ultrasound to look at your child's airway before surgery to see if placing the breathing tube might be difficult. The goal is to help doctors plan better and keep your child safe during anesthesia.
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 ultrasound to look at children's airways before planned surgery under general anesthesia. It aims to help doctors better predict the right size of breathing tube, which could reduce complications.
This study uses ultrasound (a painless imaging technique) before surgery to help doctors find the best way to place a breathing tube in children. It may help make anesthesia safer and more comfortable for kids.
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 an ultrasound of the neck to see if doctors can predict which babies under 1 year old might have a harder time getting a breathing tube placed. The goal is to improve safety during anesthesia and procedures.
