Testing a new breathing tube in children having surgery
This study tests a new breathing device (SafeLM) for children undergoing surgery. It aims to see if the device works well and is safe for kids weighing at least 10 kg.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is scheduled for surgery with general anesthesia where a breathing tube placed in the throat is suitable.
- Your child is classified as ASA I or II (generally healthy or has a mild illness that is well-controlled).
- Your child is 18 years old or younger.
- Your child weighs at least 10 kg (about 22 pounds).
- Your child does not have a high risk of stomach contents coming back up into the throat.
- Your child has not had a recent cold or upper respiratory infection in the last 2 weeks.
- Your child does not have uncontrolled breathing problems like asthma, chronic lung disease, or restrictive lung disease.
- Your child does not have any birth defects in the airway.

This trial tests a new device called SafeLM that helps you breathe during surgery. It may be used instead of a standard breathing tube for people having planned surgery with general anesthesia.
This study compares two types of soft breathing tubes (laryngeal mask airways) used during surgery in children ages 3–6. Researchers want to see which one works better and is safer for keeping the airway open during anesthesia.
This trial tests two types of breathing tubes (SafeLM and I-gel) to see which works better for people having shoulder surgery while sitting up. It aims to find a safer way to keep your airway open during the procedure.
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.
This trial tests a new video-guided method (SaCoVLM) against a standard scope (fiberoptic bronchoscope) to see which places the laryngeal mask better in patients getting general anesthesia for short surgeries. It may help improve airway management.
This study compares two different devices used to help place a breathing tube in children during surgery. It aims to find out which device works better for young children having planned operations.
