Breathing tube pressure and sore throat in children's appendix surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether carefully managing the pressure in the breathing tube during surgery can help prevent a sore throat in children after they have their appendix removed by keyhole surgery. It may help your child have a more comfortable recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 18 years old.
- Your child is scheduled for a laparoscopic appendectomy (a type of keyhole surgery to remove the appendix).
- Your child must have an ASA physical status of I, II, or III (this is a way to rate how healthy a patient is before surgery).
- Your child cannot have a sore throat before the surgery.
- Your child cannot have had a breathing tube put in more than once during the surgery, and the surgery must take less than 2 hours.
- Your child cannot have complicated appendicitis or any other serious health issues like heart or lung problems.

This study tests whether adjusting the air pressure in a breathing tube used during ear surgery reduces sore throats and other side effects. It may help find the safest way to use this tube for people having ear surgery.
This trial tests whether different ways of measuring the pressure in the breathing tube during breast surgery can reduce complications after surgery. It compares standard methods to a more precise one to see which works better.
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.
This study looks at videos of appendix removal surgery in children to see if they can help make surgery safer. If your child is having this surgery, the video may help doctors learn how to prevent problems.
This study looks at ways to predict if putting a breathing tube in a child's windpipe during planned surgery will be difficult. It aims to help doctors prepare better and keep children safe.
This study checks if tilting a child's head back during surgery changes the pressure in the breathing tube. It helps doctors make sure children's airways stay safe during tonsil or adenoid removal.
