Side-lying position for tube removal after tonsil surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests if placing children on their side during breathing tube removal (extubation) after tonsil and adenoid surgery can improve safety and recovery. It may help reduce breathing problems or other complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 1 and 6 years old.
- Scheduled for same-day tonsil and adenoid removal under general anesthesia.
- Child is in good health (ASA grade I or II).
- Parent or guardian agrees to participate and signs a consent form.

This study tests whether different positions during the removal of the breathing tube (extubation) can help prevent low oxygen levels in children after ENT surgery. It may help your child recover more safely.
This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube (fiberoptic intubation) in children during surgery: lying on their side versus lying on their back. It aims to see which position is easier and safer for kids having non-head-and-neck surgeries.
This study checks if tilting a child's head back during surgery changes the pressure in the breathing tube. It helps doctors make sure children's airways stay safe during tonsil or adenoid removal.
This study looks at whether replacing a breathing tube (endotracheal tube) with a mask-like device (laryngeal mask airway) before the child wakes up from anesthesia can make recovery smoother and safer.
This study looks at breathing problems that can happen after tonsil or adenoid surgery in children who have sleep apnea. Researchers want to learn more so they can make surgery safer for kids.
This study looks at how doctors manage the airways of children (ages 1 to 4) during planned surgeries. It aims to learn about the best ways to safely place a breathing tube. If your child is healthy enough and having surgery that needs a tube, this study may help improve care for kids with similar challenges.
