New airway combo may smooth waking from anesthesia
NCT ID NCT02708836
First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026
Summary
This study tests a technique that uses both a laryngeal mask airway and an endotracheal tube during laparoscopic surgery to limit coughing, straining, and restlessness when patients wake from anesthesia. The approach aims to combine the secure airway of an endotracheal tube with the smoother emergence seen with a laryngeal mask. Adults undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery are eligible to participate.
