Comparing two breathing masks for urologic surgery
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are considered healthy or have only mild medical problems (ASA I or II).
- The procedure will be done while you are lying on your back or in the lithotomy position (legs up in stirrups).
- You do not have any growths or unusual anatomy in your upper airway.
- You have no history of being difficult to intubate (hard to place a breathing tube).

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 two tools used to help you breathe during general anesthesia for planned surgery. The goal is to find out which one is easier and safer for patients like you.
This study compares two types of laryngeal mask airways used during general anesthesia to see if the shape of the mask affects throat soreness. If you are having elective surgery with a breathing tube placed in your throat, this trial may help improve your comfort after surgery.
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.
