Fluid use and neck swelling during shoulder arthroscopy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 75 years old.
- Be scheduled for a planned (not emergency) shoulder arthroscopy, done while sitting in a beach-chair position, under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
- Be physically healthy or have mild, well-controlled health conditions (ASA I–III).
- Have no current hoarseness, sore throat, trouble swallowing, or recent upper respiratory infection.
- Have no major neck surgery, radiation, or known airway problems, and no difficult breathing tube placement expected.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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.
This trial studies how to predict who is most likely to develop a noisy, tight throat (stridor) after doctors remove the breathing tube following a jaw-stabilizing surgery. It may help clinicians spot higher-risk patients earlier so they can take preventive steps.
This study looks at how neck size relates to airway management during surgery. It may help doctors prepare better for placing a breathing tube.
