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 trial tests if placing children on their side during breathing tube removal (extubation) after tonsil and adenoid surgery can improve safety and recovery. It may help reduce breathing problems or other complications.
This study compares two ways to check the air pressure in a breathing tube's cuff: using a special device (manometer) versus the doctor's hand feel. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer throat discomforts after surgery.
This study tests whether different positions during the removal of the breathing tube (extubation) can help prevent low oxygen levels in children after ENT surgery. It may help your child recover more safely.
This study looks at breathing problems that can happen after tonsil or adenoid surgery in children who have sleep apnea. Researchers want to learn more so they can make surgery safer for kids.
This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube (fiberoptic intubation) in children during surgery: lying on their side versus lying on their back. It aims to see which position is easier and safer for kids having non-head-and-neck surgeries.
