Recruiting studies
- NCT06117683Recruiting
Testing a new breathing device during planned surgery
This trial compares a new breathing device (used with a hand-held bag) to a standard breathing machine during planned surgeries. Researchers want to see if the new device works just as well for people under general anesthesia.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18–80 - NCT06166927Recruiting
Using Wrist Ultrasound to Predict Breathing Tube Size in Children
This trial uses an ultrasound (a safe, painless scan) to measure a small bone in your child's wrist to help predict the best size of breathing tube for their surgery. The goal is to make sure the tube fits well and reduces the risk of complications.
Asyut, Assiut GovernorateAges 1–6 - NCT06374030Recruiting
Airway management study in Dutch emergency departments
This study looks back at medical records of patients who had a breathing tube placed in Dutch emergency departments from 2019 to 2023. It aims to understand how doctors manage airways in emergency settings.
LeeuwardenAges Any age - NCT07690254Recruiting
Brain monitor for emergency intubation
This trial uses a special brain activity sensor to see if it helps doctors during emergency breathing tube placement. It may help understand how patients respond to the procedure.
AntalyaAges 18 years+ - NCT06666049Recruiting
Ultrasound test on the stomach before surgery in patients taking GLP-1 drugs
This trial uses a stomach ultrasound (called gastric POCUS) to check if your stomach is empty before surgery. It is for patients taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, or similar) to help make sure it is safe to proceed with anesthesia.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–90 - NCT06825910Recruiting
Comparing two breathing masks for urologic surgery
This trial tests two different types of laryngeal masks (breathing tubes that sit in the throat) to see which works better during minor urologic procedures. It is for adults having surgery in a lying-down position (on the back or with legs in stirrups) under general anesthesia.
AthensAges 18–90 - NCT06953414Recruiting
Predicting difficult awake breathing tube placement
This study tests a way to predict which patients will have a hard time placing a breathing tube while they are awake, using a flexible scope. It aims to help doctors plan safer procedures for people with known difficult airways.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06955884Recruiting
Awake breathing tube: mouth vs. nose
This trial compares two ways of placing a breathing tube in patients who have a difficult airway and need surgery. One method goes through the mouth, the other through the nose, both while you are awake. The goal is to see which method you prefer.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07114549Recruiting
Validating a tool to predict difficult mask ventilation
This study tests whether a scoring system (MASCAN) can correctly predict if a patient will be difficult to ventilate using a facemask during surgery. It aims to improve safety by identifying high-risk patients before anesthesia begins.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07222007Recruiting
Induction agent choice and survival in ICU patients
This study looks at how the type of medicine used to start sedation in the surgical ICU affects early survival and recovery. It may help doctors choose safer options for critically ill patients.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07239141Recruiting
Comparing two video laryngoscopes for intubation during surgery
This trial compares two types of video laryngoscopes (Laringocel® and C-MAC®) to see which one works better for placing a breathing tube in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. If you are 18 or older and scheduled for elective surgery, you may be able to join.
Medellín, AntioquiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07340255Recruiting
Safe airway pressure during anesthesia start
This study tests the best air pressure to use with a mask to keep air out of the stomach when you first go to sleep for surgery. It helps make anesthesia safer and more comfortable for you.
JiaxingAges 18–65 - NCT06150352Recruiting
Sleep apnea and memory in older adults with mild concerns
This trial looks at how sleep apnea affects memory and brain health in people who have mild memory problems or are worried about their memory. You will have a sleep study and brain scans to see if treating sleep apnea could help protect your thinking skills.
Hong KongAges 50–80 - NCT06761170RecruitingPhase 2
Spray Freezing for Non-Cancerous Airway Narrowing
This trial is testing a treatment called spray cryotherapy, which uses extreme cold to open up a narrowed airway. It may help people with non-cancerous (benign) narrowing of the windpipe or voice box area that is causing symptoms like trouble breathing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT06891755Recruiting
Lung deflation procedure for severe emphysema
This study tests a bronchoscopic treatment to release trapped air in severely hyperinflated lungs caused by emphysema. It may help you breathe easier if you have advanced COPD and meet specific lung function and imaging criteria.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40–84 - NCT07507682Recruiting
Can astaxanthin help manage asthma in polluted areas?
This trial tests if a daily supplement called astaxanthin can help people with mild-to-moderate asthma, especially in areas with more air pollution. You would take capsules and track your breathing at home.
London, BarnetAges 18 years+ - NCT05193552RecruitingPhase 4
Spirometry study for people with CVID on IG therapy
This trial looks at how breathing tests (spirometry) can help guide treatment decisions for people with CVID and airway disease who are already on immune globulin (IG) therapy. It may help your care team better monitor lung function using a specific breathing-test pattern.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21 years+ - NCT07678086Recruiting
Breathing tube pressure and sore throat in children's appendix surgery
This trial tests whether carefully managing the pressure in the breathing tube during surgery can help prevent a sore throat in children after they have their appendix removed by keyhole surgery. It may help your child have a more comfortable recovery.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 6–18 - NCT06550219Recruiting
Using a face mask breathing support in premature babies with breathing trouble
This study tests whether delivering breathing support through a soft face mask (nasal non-invasive ventilation) can help premature babies who are having trouble breathing. Doctors will also use ultrasound to monitor their lungs.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for airway management?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 43 recruiting airway management studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a airway management trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a airway management trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
