Training doctors to check breathing tube pressure
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if a special training method for doctors (called loss-of-resistance syringe training) can help keep the air pressure in your breathing tube at a safe level during anesthesia. The goal is to reduce throat soreness after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You will be having general anesthesia (being put to sleep) with a breathing tube placed in your windpipe.
- This must be your first surgery performed in the study's operating rooms at Kayseri City Hospital.
- You need to be able to talk and answer questions about pain after surgery.
- Your surgery should not involve your ears, nose, throat, or upper stomach/intestines.
- Your surgery should last less than 3 hours, and you should not need a special type of breathing tube (like one through your nose or a double-lumen tube).

This trial tests whether different ways of measuring the pressure in the breathing tube during breast surgery can reduce complications after surgery. It compares standard methods to a more precise one to see which works better.
This study compares different sizes of a specialized breathing tube (endotracheal tube) used during surgery to see which size causes less sore throat afterward. If you're having elective surgery under general anesthesia, this trial may help reduce your post-surgery discomfort.
This study looks at whether a special breathing tube can reduce the chance of small amounts of fluid or germs getting into your lungs during surgery. If you’re having surgery that lasts at least an hour, this might help improve your recovery.
This study looks at how the amount of fluid used during shoulder arthroscopy affects neck swelling and the pressure in the breathing tube. It aims to see if certain factors increase the risk of throat and airway swelling after surgery, which could help improve care for future patients.
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 tests whether adjusting the air pressure in a breathing tube used during ear surgery reduces sore throats and other side effects. It may help find the safest way to use this tube for people having ear surgery.
