Comparing two airway devices for breast lump removal surgery
This study compares two types of laryngeal mask airways (SafeLM and LMA Classic) to see which works better for women having benign breast fibroadenoma removal under general anesthesia. If you're scheduled for this surgery and your doctor plans to use a laryngeal mask, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove a benign (non-cancerous) breast growth called a fibroadenoma.
- You will receive general anesthesia and a laryngeal mask airway (a soft tube placed in your throat to help you breathe) as part of your planned care.
- You are in good overall health as classified by standard anesthesia guidelines (ASA I or II).
- You are not at high risk for food or liquid entering your lungs during surgery, and you do not have a known difficult airway or other throat problems that would make using a laryngeal mask unsafe.
- You can provide written informed consent to participate.

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 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 study compares two types of laryngeal mask airways used during general anesthesia to see if the shape of the mask affects throat soreness. If you are having elective surgery with a breathing tube placed in your throat, this trial may help improve your comfort after surgery.
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 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 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.
