The goal is to see if maintaining the pressure in this cushion within a safe, specific range (15-18 mmHg) helps prevent or reduce sore throat, hoarseness, and discomfort, which are common postoperative complications in children.\n\nStudy Design:\n\nThis is a prospective, randomized, controlled study. Sixty children aged 6 to 18 years scheduled for laparoscopic appendectomy will be included. Participants will be randomly assigned to two equal groups: Group A (Control Group): Breathing tube cuff pressure is adjusted using the standard \"feeling\" (finger palpation) method common in routine practice. Group B (Intervention Group): Breathing tube cuff pressure is measured throughout the surgery using a medical pressure sensor (manometer) and maintained within a safe range (15-18 mmHg). Research Questions: Does actively monitoring airway pressure reduce the number of children experiencing postoperative sore throat? Does this method reduce the severity of sore throat, cough, hoarseness, or other respiratory discomfort compared to the standard method? What will happen?\n\nDuring surgery, respiratory and heart rate measurements will be recorded every 15 minutes for all participants. After surgery, researchers will visit participants (and their parents) at 2, 6, and 24 hours postoperatively to assess the presence of sore throat, discomfort, or hoarseness. No additional medications or invasive procedures will be used for this study; only how we manage airway pressure will be compared.",[27,28,29,30],"Appendicitis Acute","Postoperative Sore Throat, Cough, Hoarseness","Airway Complications","Respiratory Complications",[32,33,34,35,36,37,38],"Endotracheal tube cuff pressure","Post-anesthetic complications","Pressure transducer","Laparoscopic appendectomy","Pediatric anesthesia","Airway management","postoperative sore throat","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-06-28",{"date":42,"type":43},"2026-07-01","ACTUAL",{"date":45,"type":21},"2026-06-30",{"date":47,"type":21},"2026-08-25",{"name":49,"class":50},"Ankara Etlik City Hospital","OTHER_GOV",1,{"id":53,"slug":54,"hasResults":11,"nctId":55,"briefTitle":56,"officialTitle":57,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":58,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":59,"maxAge":60,"enrollmentInfo":61,"targetDuration":63,"studyType":64,"phases":4,"briefSummary":65,"conditions":66,"keywords":72,"overallStatus":39,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":75,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":76,"startDateStruct":78,"completionDateStruct":80,"leadSponsor":82,"locationsCount":51},"100635622","comparison-of-gastric-volume-changes-after-ventilation-with-endotracheal-tube-first-generation-supraglottic-airway-and-second-generation-supraglottic-airway-in-pediatric-patients-100635622","NCT07555080","Comparison of Gastric Volume Changes After Ventilation With Endotracheal Tube, First-Generation Supraglottic Airway, and Second-Generation Supraglottic Airway in Pediatric Patients","Comparison of Gastric Volume Changes Via Ultrasound After Ventilation With Endotracheal Tube, First-Generation Supraglottic Airway, and Second-Generation Supraglottic Airway in Pediatric Patients: A Prospective Observational Study","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* 1-10 years of age\n* Adherence to standard preoperative fasting guidelines\n* Elective surgeries\n* ASA I-III status\n* Surgery time 30 min to 2 hours\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Gastrointestinal tract surgeries\n* Laparoscopic surgeries\n* Emergency procedures\n* Full stomach patients\n* Lack of parental\u002Fguardian consent","1 Year","10 Years",{"count":62,"type":21},250,"1 Day","OBSERVATIONAL","This study aims to compare the gastric volumes of pediatric patients undergoing positive-pressure ventilation with different airway management techniques. Gastric ultrasound is a non-invasive bedside tool with high sensitivity and specificity for determining the nature and amount of gastric content. In pediatric cases, maintaining a gastric volume below 1.25 mL\u002Fkg is associated with a lower risk of perioperative aspiration.\n\nAlthough supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are commonly used as alternatives to endotracheal tubes, concerns regarding the potential for gastric insufflation and subsequent aspiration persist. Second-generation SADs were specifically designed with gastric drainage channels to mitigate the risk of regurgitation compared to first-generation devices.\n\nThe primary objective of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in gastric volumes, as measured by ultrasound, among three groups of pediatric patients: those managed with endotracheal tubes, first-generation SADs, and second-generation SADs. By comparing these measurements post-ventilation, the investigators aim to evaluate the impact of the airway device choice on gastric volume under clinical conditions.",[67,68,69,70,71,29],"Gastric Ultrasonography","Supraglottic Airways","Supraglottic Airway Use in Children","Gastric Volume","Gastric Insufflation",[73,74],"gastric ultrasonography","airway management","2026-06-04",{"date":77,"type":43},"2026-06-08",{"date":79,"type":21},"2026-06-15",{"date":81,"type":21},"2026-09",{"name":83,"class":84},"Istanbul University","OTHER",{"id":86,"slug":87,"hasResults":11,"nctId":88,"briefTitle":89,"officialTitle":90,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":91,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":92,"minAge":18,"maxAge":93,"enrollmentInfo":94,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":96,"briefSummary":97,"conditions":98,"keywords":103,"overallStatus":39,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":108,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":109,"startDateStruct":111,"completionDateStruct":113,"leadSponsor":115,"locationsCount":51},"100619209","effect-of-cuff-pressure-assessment-methods-on-postoperative-complications-in-breast-surgery-100619209","NCT07341646","Effect of Cuff Pressure Assessment Methods on Postoperative Complications in Breast Surgery","The Effect of Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure Assessment Methods on Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Elective Breast Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Female patients aged 18 to 65 years.\n* Patients classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I, II, or III.\n* Patients scheduled for elective breast surgery requiring general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation.\n* Patients who provide voluntary written informed consent to participate.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with a history of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or an asthma attack within the last 6 months.\n* Presence of preoperative sore throat, hoarseness, or cough.\n* Patients with predicted difficult intubation or those who are difficult to intubate.\n* Patients with communication difficulties that prevent accurate assessment of symptoms.\n* Patients whose surgery duration exceeds 3 hours.\n* Patients older than 65 years.","FEMALE","65 Years",{"count":95,"type":21},90,[24],"Endotracheal intubation is a standard procedure used to secure the airway during general anesthesia. A key component of the breathing tube is the \"cuff,\" a balloon-like device that is inflated to seal the airway and prevent aspiration. However, if the pressure within this cuff is too high, it can restrict blood flow to the tracheal lining, leading to complications such as postoperative sore throat, hoarseness, and difficulty swallowing (dysphagia).\n\nCurrently, there are various methods to monitor and adjust this pressure. In many clinical practices, the pressure is adjusted subjectively or checked only once at the beginning of the surgery. These methods may allow pressure to exceed safe limits (typically 20-30 cmH₂O) or fluctuate during the procedure, potentially causing tissue irritation. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare three different methods of assessing and maintaining endotracheal tube cuff pressure to determine which is most effective at reducing postoperative complications. The study focuses on women undergoing elective breast surgery, a group chosen because the surgery typically lasts 1-3 hours and does not involve major changes in head and neck position, allowing for a clear assessment of the cuff pressure methods.\n\nParticipants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups:\n\n* Continuous Monitoring Group: Cuff pressure is monitored continuously using a pressure indicator and maintained within the 20-30 cmH₂O range throughout the surgery.\n* Manometer Group: Cuff pressure is measured and set to 20-30 cmH₂O using a manual manometer once, immediately after intubation.\n* Control Group (Minimal Occlusive Volume): The cuff is inflated with the minimum amount of air required to prevent an air leak, without using a pressure gauge.\n\nResearchers will assess patients for sore throat, cough, hoarseness, and swallowing difficulties at 0, 1, 12, and 24 hours after surgery to identify the safest and most comfortable method for airway management.",[29,99,100,101,102],"Postoperative Sore Throat","Hoarseness","Dysphagia","Cough Severity",[104,105,106,99,29,107],"Continuous Cuff Pressure Monitoring","Manometer","Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure","Intubation Safety","2026-01-14",{"date":110,"type":43},"2026-01-15",{"date":112,"type":21},"2026-03-01",{"date":114,"type":21},"2027-06-01",{"name":116,"class":84},"Izmir Katip Celebi University"]
