Neck position and breathing tube pressure in children
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study checks if tilting a child's head back during surgery changes the pressure in the breathing tube. It helps doctors make sure children's airways stay safe during tonsil or adenoid removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 2 and 18 years old.
- Your child is scheduled for a surgery to remove the tonsils or adenoids (or both).
- Your child does not have any problem moving their head or neck.
- Your child has not had any neck surgery before.
- Your child's BMI is not higher than 35. (BMI is a measure of weight relative to height.)

This trial tests whether carefully managing the pressure in the breathing tube during surgery can help prevent a sore throat in children after they have their appendix removed by keyhole surgery. It may help your child have a more comfortable recovery.
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 whether the position your child's head and body are in during extubation (when the breathing tube is removed after surgery) can help keep oxygen levels stable)Skip hypoxemia (low oxygen). It applies to children having tonsil and/or adenoid removal, and aims to make recovery safer and more comfortable.
This study tests whether adjusting the air pressure in a breathing tube used during ear surgery reduces sore throats and other side effects. It may help find the safest way to use this tube for people having ear surgery.
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 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.
