Airway techniques for children having congenital glaucoma surgery
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of managing the airway (breathing tube vs. a laryngeal mask) during anesthesia for congenital glaucoma surgery in children, to see which keeps blood pressure and eye pressure more stable. Participation may help doctors choose safer anesthesia methods for children with this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child is scheduled for congenital glaucoma surgery under general anesthesia.
- You or your child is in good overall health (classified as ASA I or II) – no severe heart or other major health problems.
- There are no heart problems, upper respiratory infections (like a cold), or predicted difficulty with breathing tube placement.
- The stomach is empty (not a 'full stomach' – meaning no recent food or drink as required before anesthesia).
- There are no other birth defects, and the eye being operated on has not had prior glaucoma surgery.

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 a laryngeal mask airway with a breathing tube in children having laparoscopic hernia repair. It aims to see which method works better.
This study compares two devices used to help children breathe during surgery. It will see which one works best for placing a breathing tube through a scope in children aged 4 to 8 years old.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (propofol and sevoflurane) to see how they affect eye pressure and blood flow during a procedure called cyclophotocoagulation, which treats glaucoma. If you are scheduled for this eye surgery, the study helps find the safest anesthesia option.
This study looks at ways to predict if putting a breathing tube in a child's windpipe during planned surgery will be difficult. It aims to help doctors prepare better and keep children safe.
This trial compares two types of breathing tubes (I-gel and Ambu AuraGain) used during anesthesia to see which one causes less air to enter the stomach. It is for children ages 2-12 having planned orthopedic surgery.
