LMA insertion: two-person rotating method vs. standard technique
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares a new two-person rotating method versus the standard technique for inserting a breathing tube (LMA) during anesthesia. It aims to see which approach works best on the first try for adults undergoing short, simple surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You are in good general health (ASA class I or II)
- You are having a short surgery (under 90 minutes) on an arm, leg, hernia, or soft tissue
- Your BMI is between 18.5 and 30
- You have no known risk for difficult breathing tube placement (e.g., limited neck movement, mouth opening)

This trial tests a new way to place a breathing tube (laryngeal mask) using pressure monitoring to reduce side effects in older patients during surgery. It may help if you are 60 or older and having planned surgery that lasts 30 minutes to 2 hours.
This trial tests two different types of laryngeal masks (breathing tubes that sit in the throat) to see which works better during minor urologic procedures. It is for adults having surgery in a lying-down position (on the back or with legs in stirrups) under general anesthesia.
This trial compares a special breathing tube (LMA Protector) with a standard tube (ETT) to see which one works better for patients having planned urological surgery. It checks how easy it is to breathe with the machine and the risk of stomach contents getting into the lungs.
This trial tests a new video-guided method (SaCoVLM) against a standard scope (fiberoptic bronchoscope) to see which places the laryngeal mask better in patients getting general anesthesia for short surgeries. It may help improve airway management.
This study looks at how differences in the throat and face affect the placement of a breathing tube used during surgery. It may help doctors choose the right size or position for better breathing support during procedures.
This trial compares a newer laryngeal mask airway (a device that helps you breathe during surgery) with the traditional inflatable one. It aims to see which one works better and may be more comfortable for patients having routine surgery.
