Airway devices and muscle relaxants after surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of managing breathing during surgery to see which one is linked to fewer lung problems after the operation. It will help doctors choose the safer option for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your surgery is planned and not an emergency.
- Your surgery is not on your heart, brain, or spine.
- You are not pregnant.
- You have not had another surgery within 14 days before or after this one.
- You are having the surgery in an operating room, not in a clinic or office.

This trial tests whether a medication that relaxes muscles (called a neuromuscular blocker) improves breathing help during surgery when a type of airway tube is used. It aims to see if it helps patients breathe better while under anesthesia.
This study is testing how the depth of muscle relaxation during anesthesia affects your breathing during and after open abdominal surgery. The goal is to find the best approach to reduce breathing complications after surgery.
This trial tests two different medicines used to reverse muscle relaxation after lung surgery. It looks at which one helps you breathe better in the first hours after your procedure.
This study compares two ways of keeping your airway open during lung surgery to see if one leads to fewer chest infections (pneumonia) after the operation. Half the patients will get a breathing tube placed in the windpipe, and the other half will get a special mask over the voice box, so you have a 50/50 chance of receiving either.
This study tests whether giving muscle relaxants during surgery can reduce sore throat after using a special breathing tube called a video laryngeal mask airway. It may help people who are having longer surgeries and have a higher body mass index.
This study compares a new muscle relaxant medication with a standard one to see how well they work for placing a breathing tube and maintaining muscle relaxation during surgery. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
