Testing a new airway tube for short keyhole surgeries
This trial tests a new breathing tube (called a SaCo VLMA) for patients having short laparoscopic (keyhole) surgeries under general anesthesia. The goal is to see if this tube works well and is safe for keeping the airway open during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be having a laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery that is expected to take less than about 1 hour.
- You must be in generally good health (classified as ASA I, II, or III by an anesthesiologist).
- You must have a normal, uncomplicated airway (no known difficulties with breathing tubes).
- You must not be pregnant.
- You must not have allergies to the medications used in the trial.
- You must not have risk factors for food or liquid entering your lungs during anesthesia.
- You must not have a severe heart, lung, or brain condition, or a severe sore throat before the surgery.

This trial tests a video laryngeal mask (a breathing tube with a camera) used by military medics for airway management during planned surgeries. It aims to see if it works well for patients needing help breathing during anesthesia.
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.
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 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 study looks at how well a standard laryngoscope blade works for guiding a breathing tube during anesthesia in people who have no expected airway problems. It aims to see if the blade fits well and works as intended.
