Comparing I-gel and Protector breathing devices during surgery
This study compares two types of breathing tubes (the I-gel and Protector) used during surgery to help you breathe. It looks at which one works better and is easier for doctors to use in certain body positions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study compares two soft plastic airway devices (I-Gel and Air-Q) used to help children breathe safely during surgery. The trial will determine which device works better and is safer for children aged 1–10 years.
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 video laryngoscopes — devices that help doctors see your airway clearly when placing a breathing tube — to see if one works just as well as the other. It is a non-inferiority trial, meaning it checks that the newer device is not worse than the standard one.
This study compares two different devices used to help place a breathing tube in children during surgery. It aims to find out which device works better for young children having planned operations.
This trial compares two types of video laryngoscopes (Laringocel® and C-MAC®) to see which one works better for placing a breathing tube in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. If you are 18 or older and scheduled for elective surgery, you may be able to join.
