Comparing two methods to place a breathing tube during anesthesia
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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 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 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 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.
This study compares two ways to place the special breathing tube used for one-lung ventilation during surgery. If you are having surgery that needs this tube, you may be randomly assigned to one of the two methods to see which works better.
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.
This study tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
