Comparing airway methods during glaucoma surgery
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares three different ways of managing your airway during anesthesia for congenital glaucoma surgery. The goal is to see which method best keeps your blood pressure and eye pressure stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery to treat congenital glaucoma (glaucoma you were born with).
- You are in good general health (ASA grade I or II).
- You do not have heart or blood vessel problems.
- You do not have a current cold, cough, or other respiratory infection.
- You do not have a known difficult airway or a full stomach.
- You have not had previous glaucoma surgery on the same eye.

This trial compares two types of anesthesia (propofol and sevoflurane) to see how they affect eye pressure and heart health during a laser treatment for glaucoma. It will help doctors choose the best and safest option for patients like you.
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 trial tests whether placing the I-gel or classic laryngeal mask airway in different head positions works better for elderly patients during surgery. It aims to find the safest way to help you breathe while you are asleep.
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 study compares two ways to help you breathe during surgery on your voice box or windpipe when no breathing tube is used: one uses a small jet of air through a needle, and the other delivers warm, moist oxygen through a special nose mask. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer.
This trial tests a new video-guided method (SaCoVLM) against a standard scope (fiberoptic bronchoscope) to see which places the laryngeal mask better in patients getting general anesthesia for short surgeries. It may help improve airway management.
