Airway tubes and stomach fullness in children undergoing surgery
This study compares how much air enters the stomach during surgery when using three different breathing tubes in children ages 1–10. The goal is to understand which tube design is safest and causes the least stomach bloating during anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two devices used to help children breathe during surgery (LarySeal Pro and Ambu AuraGain). It measures how much air gets into the stomach, which can cause discomfort. It is for children aged 6–12 having short elective surgeries (1 hour or less).
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.
This study uses a special ultrasound to measure the airway just below the voice box in young children having surgery. The goal is to see if these measurements can help predict breathing problems after surgery.
This study looks at how doctors manage the airways of children (ages 1 to 4) during planned surgeries. It aims to learn about the best ways to safely place a breathing tube. If your child is healthy enough and having surgery that needs a tube, this study may help improve care for kids with similar challenges.
This study tests whether ultrasound scans of the stomach before surgery help keep children safe during anesthesia. Researchers will measure how full the stomach is to make sure children are ready for surgery.
This study tests a new breathing device (SafeLM) for children undergoing surgery. It aims to see if the device works well and is safe for kids weighing at least 10 kg.
