LARYNGEAL MASK AIRWAYS

This study looks at whether continuously checking and adjusting the pressure of a breathing tube (called a laryngeal mask airway) can lower the chance of sore throat, hoarseness, and other throat problems in older adults after surgery. About 146 people aged 60 and older having no…

This study looks at two types of breathing tubes (I-gel and classic LMA) used during anesthesia in elderly patients over 75. Researchers want to see if placing the head in a slightly turned position affects how easily the tube can be inserted. The goal is to find the safest and m…

This study looks at two different strategies to help hospital staff use a special breathing device (supraglottic airway) more quickly when newborns need help breathing after birth. Over 36,000 babies and many hospital staff will take part across multiple hospitals. The goal is to…

This study tests whether a supraglottic airway (a small mask placed over the voice box) can be used as the main tool to help premature babies breathe during delivery room resuscitation. About 20 infants born between 29 and 33 weeks who need breathing support at birth will receive…

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…
