Safe airway pressure during anesthesia start
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests the best air pressure to use with a mask to keep air out of the stomach when you first go to sleep for surgery. It helps make anesthesia safer and more comfortable for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- Your weight and height give a BMI between 18 and 28
- You are having planned (not emergency) surgery with general anesthesia
- You are in good general health with no major heart, lung, liver, or kidney problems
- You have fasted for at least 6 hours from solid food and 2 hours from clear liquids before surgery

This study tests two different methods of applying pressure to the neck during general anesthesia to see which one keeps the breathing tube placement safer. It may help reduce risks during intubation.
This trial tests a new way to place a breathing tube (laryngeal mask) using pressure monitoring to reduce side effects in older patients during surgery. It may help if you are 60 or older and having planned surgery that lasts 30 minutes to 2 hours.
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 different air pressures during facemask breathing to find the best one that gives enough oxygen without pushing air into the stomach. It may help reduce stomach discomfort and complications during surgery for people with obesity.
This trial studies a way to hold gentle pressure near the throat during mask anesthesia (with or without a breathing tube) to reduce air going into the stomach. It may help lower the chance of “stomach insufflation” during elective surgery in young children.
This study looks at whether a combined airway method during general anesthesia can reduce unpleasant or risky “emergence” problems as you wake up. It is for people having planned laparoscopic (camera) surgery and who can follow fasting and consent rules.
