Recruiting studies
- NCT07493356Recruiting
Predicting difficult airway with STOP-BANG criteria
This trial tests whether the STOP-BANG checklist can help doctors predict when a patient might have a difficult airway during surgery. If you are overweight and having planned surgery with a breathing tube, you may be eligible.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–60 - NCT06667921Recruiting
Ultrasound airway test for children having planned surgery
This study uses ultrasound to see the airway in children before surgery. It aims to predict if the child's airway will be easy or difficult to intubate (placing a breathing tube).
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 2–5 - NCT05429125Recruiting
Two tools to help place a breathing tube
This trial compares two different tools used to place a breathing tube in patients who are expected to have a difficult airway, using a video camera (videolaryngoscopy). It may help doctors choose the safer or easier tool for first-attempt tube placement.
Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges 18–90 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06651879Recruiting
Ultrasound airway check in severe preeclampsia patients for C-section
This study compares two ways of using ultrasound to look at the airway in women with severe preeclampsia who need a C-section under general anesthesia. It aims to find which technique is better, so doctors can prepare more safely for your breathing tube placement.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges Any age - NCT07568743Recruiting
Video airway tool with or without assist device for surgery
This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube during elective surgery using a video camera. Researchers want to see if adding a special assist device makes the procedure safer and easier for patients with straightforward airway anatomy.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06950957Recruiting
Comparing two airway devices for septoplasty
This trial compares a video laryngeal mask with a breathing tube during septoplasty (nose surgery) to see which works better. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join.
Samsun, IlkadimAges 18–65 - NCT07511764Recruiting
Comparing two airway devices for children's hernia surgery
This trial compares a laryngeal mask airway with a breathing tube in children having laparoscopic hernia repair. It aims to see which method works better.
Diyarbakır, Eyalet/YerleşkeAges 1–10 - 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+ - NCT07444528Enrolling by invitation
Neck ultrasound to predict difficult breathing tube placement in babies
This study uses an ultrasound of the neck to see if doctors can predict which babies under 1 year old might have a harder time getting a breathing tube placed. The goal is to improve safety during anesthesia and procedures.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 12 months - NCT07017283Recruiting
Comparing two sedation methods for older adults having ERCP
This study compares two ways of keeping you comfortable and safe during an ERCP procedure: deeper sedation with a breathing tube versus deep sedation without a breathing tube. It aims to find which method causes fewer side effects in older adults.
Hangzhou, ZhijiangAges 60 years+ - NCT06815952Recruiting
Better way to predict difficult breathing tube placement
This study is testing a new way to predict whether placing a breathing tube will be difficult during surgery. It combines different measurements to help doctors plan safer anesthesia for you.
BeirutAges 18 years+ - NCT05989880Recruiting
Testing a new breathing tube in elective surgeries
This trial tests a new device called SafeLM that helps you breathe during surgery. It may be used instead of a standard breathing tube for people having planned surgery with general anesthesia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06925009Recruiting
Predicting the best way to place a breathing tube
This study compares two methods (a special camera called a videolaryngoscope and an ultrasound) to help doctors choose the best way to place a breathing tube during surgery. It aims to make airway management safer and more personalized for patients like you.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–90 - NCT06881589Recruiting
Using ultrasound and exams to guide breathing tube placement
This study tests if using ultrasound with routine checks can better predict the best way to place a breathing tube during surgery. It aims to make intubation safer and more successful.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–90 - NCT05967507Recruiting
Testing oxygen flow during infant airway tube placement
This trial studies how different oxygen flow rates affect breathing during the process of placing a breathing tube in babies. It may help clinicians choose safer oxygen settings during routine and urgent (but not life-threatening) airway management.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 12 months - NCT02708836Recruiting
Tests safer airway method to reduce anesthesia “waking up” issues
This study looks at whether a combined airway method during general anesthesia can reduce unpleasant or risky “emergence” problems as you wake up. It is for people having planned laparoscopic (camera) surgery and who can follow fasting and consent rules.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for difficult airway intubation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 42 recruiting difficult airway intubation 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 difficult airway intubation 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 difficult airway intubation 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.
