Measuring breathing tube pressure to reduce complications after breast surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether different ways of measuring the pressure in the breathing tube during breast surgery can reduce complications after surgery. It compares standard methods to a more precise one to see which works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled for breast surgery under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
- You do not have COPD or have not had an asthma attack in the last 6 months.
- You do not currently have a sore throat, hoarseness, or cough before surgery.
- You do not have difficulty communicating symptoms, and your surgery is expected to last less than 3 hours.

This study tests if a special training method for doctors (called loss-of-resistance syringe training) can help keep the air pressure in your breathing tube at a safe level during anesthesia. The goal is to reduce throat soreness after surgery.
This trial tests whether carefully managing the pressure in the breathing tube during surgery can help prevent a sore throat in children after they have their appendix removed by keyhole surgery. It may help your child have a more comfortable recovery.
This study compares different sizes of a specialized breathing tube (endotracheal tube) used during surgery to see which size causes less sore throat afterward. If you're having elective surgery under general anesthesia, this trial may help reduce your post-surgery discomfort.
This study compares two ways of checking the pressure of the breathing tube in your windpipe during surgery: the standard method (feeling the cuff by hand) versus a special measuring device. The goal is to see if using the device reduces problems after surgery, like sore throat or other side effects.
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 will check if keeping the tube in your windpipe at a certain pressure during surgery can help prevent problems like hoarseness or a sore throat after your procedure.
