Tube comfort study for patients under general anesthesia
This study looks at how patients feel about the breathing tube placed during general anesthesia and how well they can breathe with it. It aims to help doctors improve comfort and care for patients waking up from surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You will be having general anesthesia with a breathing tube placed in your windpipe for surgery.
- You must be willing and able to give written consent to participate.
- You must be able to answer questions after surgery (not deaf, mute, or with severe psychiatric illness).
- Your breathing tube must be removed while still in the operating room, not after you move to recovery or the ICU.

This study watches how patients do after a breathing tube is removed (extubation) in the operating room, ICU, or other anesthesia areas. It aims to learn about complications and improve care.
This study compares two ways to check the air pressure in a breathing tube's cuff: using a special device (manometer) versus the doctor's hand feel. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer throat discomforts after surgery.
This study compares how well patients recover from the breathing tube (extubation) after surgery, depending on whether it happens during the day or at night. The goal is to see if there are more breathing complications at night so hospitals can improve care.
This study asks patients about their experience and satisfaction with awake intubation—a procedure where you remain conscious while a breathing tube is placed in your airway. Researchers want to understand how patients feel about the procedure and what could improve the experience.
This trial compares two ways of managing your breathing tube when you wake up from general anesthesia: suctioning the tube or not. It aims to see which method is more comfortable and safer for you after surgery.
This study looks at patients who are ready to have their breathing tube removed and checks how to predict who might struggle after extubation. It’s observational, meaning your care won’t be changed—researchers are gathering information to improve future predictions.
