ClinConnect Summary

The PAPAYA III trial is a study aimed at understanding incidents related to airway management during anesthesia for adult patients. Essentially, it looks at what happens when doctors manage a patient's airway—like putting in a breathing tube or using devices that help with breathing—during surgeries or medical procedures. The goal is to analyze both major and minor problems that might occur, so healthcare providers can improve safety for future patients.

To participate in this trial, you need to be an adult over 18 years old who requires airway management for a medical procedure, whether it's planned, urgent, or emergency-related. You will need to give your consent to participate. If you join the study, researchers will collect information about your care and any incidents related to airway management that occur during your procedure. It’s important to note that the trial is not yet recruiting participants, so you won’t be able to join just yet. This study is essential for enhancing patient safety in anesthesia care, which is why your participation could help many others in the future.
