Facial mask breathing support: comparing two techniques
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests two different hand techniques for holding a face mask during general anesthesia. It aims to find which method works better for helping patients breathe, and may be relevant for anyone having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are scheduled for planned (not emergency) surgery
- You will receive general anesthesia for your surgery

This study compares two ways of helping you breathe during anesthesia for surgery: one controlled by an anesthesiologist by hand, and one using an automatic machine. Researchers want to see which method works better and is safer for patients 65 and older.
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 tests whether changing your head and body position helps with breathing mask ventilation before surgery in people with obesity.
This study compares two ways of timing a breathing mask's support to match your own breaths. If you're in the ICU or ER and need help breathing for at least 2 more hours, this trial may test which method works better.
This study tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
