-
Ultrasound Measurements and Age-Related Anatomy to Guide LMA Placement
This study tests whether ultrasound measurements of the upper airway and age-related anatomy affect how easily and accurately a laryngeal mask is placed in young adults and older adults.
-
AI-assisted ultrasound check for LMA placement in adults
A prospective study tests if artificial intelligence using ultrasound images can determine whether a laryngeal mask airway is placed correctly in adults having surgery.
-
I-scoop vs C-Mac D-Blade for airway management with spontaneous breathing
This study tests whether the i-scoop videolaryngoscope makes airway management with the patient breathing on their own and light sedation easier and safer than the C-Mac D-Blade in adults having surgery under general anesthesia.
-
Comparing two videolaryngoscopes for placing breathing tubes in infants
This trial will test whether the BESDATA BD-DF videolaryngoscope works as well as the McGRATH MAC for placing breathing tubes on the first try in infants aged 6 months to 3 years during elective surgery.
-
Finding the ventilation pressure that prevents air from entering the esophagus during anesthesia induction
This test tries to find the ventilation pressure during anesthesia induction that prevents air from entering the esophagus in adults having elective general surgery.
-
SaCoVLM™ video laryngeal mask for airway management by military medics
This project will test whether the SaCoVLM™ video laryngeal mask helps military medics with limited intubation experience manage airways safely during simulation and in sedated elective surgery patients.
-
Comparing Laringocel® and C‑MAC® video laryngoscopes for placing breathing tubes during elective surgery
This comparison will test whether the Colombian Laringocel® video laryngoscope works as well as the C‑MAC D‑Blade® to help anesthesiologists place breathing tubes in adults having elective surgery.
-
Validate the MASCAN score for predicting difficult facemask ventilation
This study will see if the MASCAN score can predict difficult facemask ventilation in adults having general anesthesia and whether factors like timing of muscle relaxants, manual versus controlled ventilation, and capnography readings change its accuracy.
-
Comparing awake tracheal intubation through the mouth versus the nose.
This study will test whether awake tracheal intubation through the mouth or the nose causes less discomfort for adults who need flexible bronchoscopy-guided intubation for a difficult airway.
-
Standardized laryngeal mask airway placement with cuff pressure monitoring for older adults
This tests whether using a cuff pressure monitor when placing a laryngeal mask airway reduces airway-related adverse reactions in older adults having elective surgery.
-
Predicting Difficult Awake Tracheal Intubation with Flexible Bronchoscopes
This study is testing a new way to predict if patients will have a hard time with awake tracheal intubation to help make the process safer for those with difficult airways.
-
Comparing two airway devices for anesthesia placement
This study tests which of two airway devices is easier for anesthesiology residents to learn to use when placing them in adult patients.
-
Comparing two airway devices for minor urological procedures under general anesthesia
This study is testing which of two airway devices, the iGel or the Protector, works better and safer for adults undergoing minor urological procedures with general anesthesia.
-
Evaluating the use of ultrasound for assessing difficult airways
This study is testing whether using ultrasound can help doctors better predict and manage difficult airways during surgeries that require general anesthesia.
-
Using ultrasound to predict the size of endotracheal tubes in children
This study is testing if using ultrasound to measure a child's wrist can help doctors choose the right size of breathing tube for kids aged 1 to 6 during surgery.
-
Optimizing oxygen flow rates during intubation in neonates and infants
This study tests whether using low or high oxygen flow rates during intubation helps newborns and infants breathe better and have safer outcomes.
-
Comparing two methods for nasal intubation in adults during surgery
This study is testing whether a new way of putting a tube in the nose during dental or facial surgery is faster and safer than the traditional method for adults.
