Comparing two ways to place a breathing tube during surgery for acromegaly or pituitary adenoma
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two methods of placing a breathing tube (intubation) during general anesthesia for people with acromegaly or nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma. The goal is to see if one method is safer or easier for these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have acromegaly or a nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma and are scheduled for surgery

This study compares two different types of breathing tubes for people having surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which tube is easier to place on the first try when using a special video-guided tool.
This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube (called an LMA) during general anesthesia. It aims to see which method works best on the first try, which may help patients breathe safely during surgery.
This study tests two tools used to help you breathe during general anesthesia for planned surgery. The goal is to find out which one is easier and safer for patients like you.
This study looks at whether ultrasound (a painless imaging test using sound waves) can help doctors predict difficult breathing tube placement in people with acromegaly who are having pituitary surgery. A successful prediction could help the medical team prepare better and keep you safe during anesthesia.
This study compares different methods for placing a breathing tube while you are awake. It is for people who are having planned surgery and might have a difficult airway—for example, if doctors expect challenges with a face mask, a breathing tube, or if you have a short time before you stop breathing.
This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during general anesthesia to see which works better for people having trauma surgery. It aims to find which tube provides safer and easier airway management during the procedure.
