Comparing two breathing devices for shoulder surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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 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 trial compares two different devices (a video laryngeal mask and a video laryngoscope) used to help you breathe during surgery. It aims to see which tool works better for placing a breathing tube in patients having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
This study compares two different video devices that doctors use to see down your throat and place a breathing tube during surgery. The trial tests which device works better and is easier to use while you're under light sedation (medication to keep you calm and comfortable).
This trial compares two types of video laryngoscopes (visionPRO and Glidescope) to see if one is as good as the other for placing a breathing tube during surgery. If you are having planned surgery with general anesthesia and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
