Comparing two airway tubes for young children under anesthesia
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
