Breathing tube comfort during anesthesia
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how patients feel about breathing through a tube during surgery. It aims to help doctors make the experience more comfortable by understanding how patients perceive their breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You will be having general anesthesia for surgery with a breathing tube placed in your throat.
- You must be able to answer simple questions after waking up from anesthesia.
- You cannot have a severe psychiatric condition that would affect your ability to participate.
- You cannot be deaf or mute, because you need to answer questions.
- Your breathing tube will be removed in the operating room before you go to the recovery room or ICU.

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 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 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 compares two ways of checking the pressure of the breathing tube in your windpipe during surgery: the standard method (feeling the cuff by hand) versus a special measuring device. The goal is to see if using the device reduces problems after surgery, like sore throat or other side effects.
This study compares different tracheostomy tubes to see which one helps people breathe more comfortably while they are getting used to breathing on their own after being on a ventilator. It aims to find the best tube to reduce shortness of breath.
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.
