Comparing Two Airway Devices for Children During Surgery
This study compares two soft plastic airway devices (I-Gel and Air-Q) used to help children breathe safely during surgery. The trial will determine which device works better and is safer for children aged 1–10 years.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 and 10 years old
- Your child is in good overall health (American Society of Anesthesiologists status I or II—meaning no or mild medical conditions)
- Surgery is planned and non-emergency (scheduled in advance, not urgent)
- Your child's doctor plans to use a supraglottic airway device (a soft tube placed in the throat to help breathing during anesthesia)
- You must provide written permission as the parent or legal guardian
