AIRWAY MANAGEMENT

This study looks at whether ultrasound measurements of the neck can help doctors predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult. About 500 adults having planned surgery with general anesthesia will have their neck scanned before the procedure. The goal is to see if these s…

This study compares two video laryngoscopes (McGRATH MAC and BESDATA BD-DF) used to place breathing tubes in infants during surgery. About 226 children aged 6 months to 3 years will be randomly assigned to one device. The goal is to see if the BESDATA works as well as the McGRATH…

This study aims to find the exact ventilation pressure that prevents air from entering the stomach during anesthesia induction in 90% of patients. Researchers will test different pressure levels in 60 adults undergoing planned surgery. The goal is to improve safety and personaliz…

This study compares two types of breathing tubes (i-gel and Protector) used during minor urology procedures under general anesthesia. Researchers will measure how well each tube seals the airway and how easy they are to place. The study involves 100 adults who are healthy or have…

This study looks at whether military medics with little intubation experience can safely use the SaCoVLM™ video laryngeal mask airway. It has two parts: training on a simulator and then using the device on sedated patients having elective surgery. The goal is to see how often the…

This study looks back at medical records of critically ill adults in the surgical ICU to compare two common drugs (propofol and ketamine) used when placing a breathing tube. The main goal is to see if one drug is linked to fewer deaths within the first week. Researchers will also…

This study tests whether a new Colombian video laryngoscope (Laringocel) works as well as a widely used international device (C-MAC D-Blade) for placing breathing tubes in adults having elective surgery. 252 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two devices. The ma…

This study looks at whether using a low or high flow of oxygen during a breathing tube placement in newborns and infants makes a difference in success. About 1,192 babies up to 52 weeks old will take part. The goal is to find the safest and most effective oxygen flow rate for thi…

This study compares two devices (I-gel and Air-Q) used to help children breathe during surgery. Researchers will measure how well each device seals the airway and whether air enters the stomach, using ultrasound for safe checking. The goal is to improve safety and effectiveness o…
