This study is comparing three different breathing tube devices (GMA-TULIP, I-gel, and BlockBuster Laryngeal Mask) for people having laparoscopic surgery while tilted head-down. The goal is to see which device works best and most safely.
This study compares different sizes of a specialized breathing tube (endotracheal tube) used during surgery to see which size causes less sore throat afterward. If you're having elective surgery under general anesthesia, this trial may help reduce your post-surgery discomfort.
This trial tests whether one type of breathing tube works better than another when used with a video laryngoscope without a stylet during surgery. It aims to help doctors succeed on the first try when placing the tube.
This study tests a small change in how doctors place a breathing tube for surgery. By gently rotating the tube before inserting it, they hope to reduce sore throats after surgery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia—one given through a vein (TCI) and one inhaled—to see which causes fewer breathing tube and airway problems after thyroid surgery. The goal is to find a safer and more comfortable recovery for patients.
This trial compares two different devices (a video laryngeal mask and a video laryngoscope) used to help you breathe during surgery. It aims to see which tool works better for placing a breathing tube in patients having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
