Comparing three laryngeal masks for side-lying surgeries under general anesthesia
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests three different breathing tube devices (laryngeal masks) used during general anesthesia when patients are lying on their side. The goal is to see which one works best for surgeries lasting less than three hours.

This trial tests a new way to place a breathing tube (laryngeal mask) using pressure monitoring to reduce side effects in older patients during surgery. It may help if you are 60 or older and having planned surgery that lasts 30 minutes to 2 hours.
This trial compares two types of laryngeal masks (GMA-TULIP and I-gel) used to help patients breathe during trauma surgery. It aims to see which device works better and is safer for people having surgery lying on their back.
This trial tests two different types of laryngeal masks (breathing tubes that sit in the throat) to see which works better during minor urologic procedures. It is for adults having surgery in a lying-down position (on the back or with legs in stirrups) under general anesthesia.
This trial tests two types of breathing tubes (SafeLM and I-gel) to see which works better for people having shoulder surgery while sitting up. It aims to find a safer way to keep your airway open during the procedure.
