Muscle relaxants for sore throat after breathing tube
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your surgery is expected to last longer than 1 hour
- You have a body mass index (BMI) over 30
- You are classified as ASA I, II, or III (a standard measure of overall health)
- You are not pregnant
- Your airway is not expected to be difficult to manage

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 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 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.
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 different muscle relaxant drugs—rocuronium and succinylcholine—to see which one helps doctors place a breathing tube faster during emergency anesthesia. It may be a good fit for people who need general anesthesia for surgery and have either a high body mass index or a difficult airway.
This study looks at a small muscle in the throat that helps with swallowing and speaking. It aims to understand how this muscle changes in people who need a breathing tube in the intensive care unit. The results may help improve care for patients with breathing tubes.
