Comparing two types of laryngeal masks for general anesthesia
This study compares two types of laryngeal masks (soft breathing tubes) used during general anesthesia to help you breathe during surgery. It aims to see which one works better and is easier for doctors to place, which might make your anesthesia experience smoother.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) surgery under general anesthesia where a laryngeal mask (a soft breathing tube placed in the throat) will be used.
- Your doctor does not expect that placing the airway will be difficult (based on a standard check).
- You have no history of a difficult airway (trouble with breathing tubes in the past).
- You are not receiving muscle relaxants (drugs that temporarily paralyze muscles) just for placing the airway.

This study compares two types of laryngeal mask airways used during general anesthesia to see if the shape of the mask affects throat soreness. If you are having elective surgery with a breathing tube placed in your throat, this trial may help improve your comfort after surgery.
This trial compares a newer laryngeal mask airway (a device that helps you breathe during surgery) with the traditional inflatable one. It aims to see which one works better and may be more comfortable for patients having routine surgery.
This study tests two tools used to help you breathe during general anesthesia for planned surgery. The goal is to find out which one is easier and safer for patients like you.
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 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 compares two types of video laryngoscopes (Laringocel® and C-MAC®) to see which one works better for placing a breathing tube in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. If you are 18 or older and scheduled for elective surgery, you may be able to join.
