A new airway device for children having surgery
This trial tests a new type of breathing tube called SafeLM that is placed in the throat to help your child breathe during surgery. It may be a safer and more comfortable alternative to standard tubes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be having surgery under general anesthesia where an airway device is needed.
- Your child must be in good health or have only mild health conditions (ASA 1 or 2).
- Your child must be 18 years old or younger and weigh at least 10 kg (about 22 pounds).
- Your child should not have a respiratory infection (cold, cough) in the last 2 weeks.
