Laryngeal mask placement in elderly patients
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a way of managing the air pressure in a breathing tube mask used during surgery. The goal is to reduce throat and voice box problems after surgery in older patients.
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 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 ways of placing a breathing tube (called an LMA) during general anesthesia. It aims to see which method works best on the first try, which may help patients breathe safely during surgery.
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 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.
