A breathing tube study for reducing lung fluid during surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special breathing tube can reduce the chance of small amounts of fluid or germs getting into your lungs during surgery. If you’re having surgery that lasts at least an hour, this might help improve your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to have surgery planned that will last at least one hour.
- You should be in generally good health (classified as ASA I to III).
- You must have no major airway problems (like a narrowed or damaged windpipe).
- Your doctor should expect that placing the breathing tube will be straightforward, not difficult.
- You can’t be taking part in another clinical trial right now.

This study tests if a special training method for doctors (called loss-of-resistance syringe training) can help keep the air pressure in your breathing tube at a safe level during anesthesia. The goal is to reduce throat soreness after surgery.
This study looks at how the amount of fluid used during shoulder arthroscopy affects neck swelling and the pressure in the breathing tube. It aims to see if certain factors increase the risk of throat and airway swelling after surgery, which could help improve care for future patients.
This study compares two ways of checking the pressure of the breathing tube in your windpipe during surgery: the standard method (feeling the cuff by hand) versus a special measuring device. The goal is to see if using the device reduces problems after surgery, like sore throat or other side effects.
This study compares two different types of breathing tubes for people having surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which tube is easier to place on the first try when using a special video-guided tool.
This study tests whether adjusting the air pressure in a breathing tube used during ear surgery reduces sore throats and other side effects. It may help find the safest way to use this tube for people having ear surgery.
This study tests whether using a special tube and monitoring technique during surgery can reduce breathing problems after the operation. It may help patients recover better after certain types of surgery.
