Recruiting studies
- NCT07380763Recruiting
Comparing ways to give oxygen before emergency intubation
This trial tests two methods for giving oxygen before placing a breathing tube in an emergency. It looks at which technique causes fewer problems and helps oxygen levels stay stable.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07484841Recruiting
Comparing ways to insert a breathing tube while awake
This study compares different methods for placing a breathing tube while you are awake. It is for people who are having planned surgery and might have a difficult airway—for example, if doctors expect challenges with a face mask, a breathing tube, or if you have a short time before you stop breathing.
İzmit, KocaeliAges 18 years+ - NCT07480304Enrolling by invitation
Dexmedetomidine mist for stable breathing tube placement
This trial tests if a medication called dexmedetomidine (given as a mist through a nebulizer) can help keep your heart rate and blood pressure steady when a breathing tube is placed for surgery. It may be an option for people having planned surgery who want a smoother experience.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–65 - NCT05539391Recruiting
Planning the best way to do emergency breathing tubes
This study tests an approach to improve how clinicians place an emergency breathing tube quickly and safely when someone is in serious breathing or life-threatening distress. It may help by standardizing care and optimizing medications and backup steps during urgent situations.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06307392Recruiting
Bougie versus tube for first-attempt breathing tube success
This trial compares two methods of placing a breathing tube during a medical emergency outside the hospital: using a flexible device called a bougie versus just the tube alone. It aims to see which method is more successful on the first try.
Nantes, Loire AtlantiqueAges 18 years+ - NCT06322719Recruiting
Comparing two blades for intubation in the ICU
This trial tests which blade (hyperangulated or Macintosh) works better when doctors use a video laryngoscope to place a breathing tube in intensive care patients. It may help improve how intubation is done in the ICU.
Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges 18–90 - NCT02493478Recruiting
Improve safety during placing breathing tubes in children
This trial looks at ways to improve the safety and quality of emergency breathing tube placement in pediatric critical care and emergency settings. It may help reduce complications and improve how clinicians do these urgent procedures.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT07845305Enrolling by invitation
Breathing tube placement with sedation only to preserve breathing
This study tests whether giving only sedation (not a paralytic drug) during emergency breathing tube placement can help you keep breathing on your own. It aims to see if this approach is safer and helps recovery.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07837882Recruiting
Comparing two video laryngoscopes in children having surgery
This trial compares two types of video laryngoscopes (tools with a camera to help place the breathing tube) in children having planned surgery. The aim is to see which one works better for routine anesthesia.
Samsun, Mağaza SeçinizAges 2–10 - NCT07495436Recruiting
Video vs. direct laryngoscopy for children's breathing tubes
This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube in children during surgery: using a video camera laryngoscope or a standard direct laryngoscope. If your child is having a planned surgery and needs a breathing tube, this trial may help determine which method is safer and easier.
Santiago de Compostela, A CORUÑAAges birth–16 hours - NCT07482436Recruiting
Airway ultrasound vs laryngoscopy in obesity
This study compares two ways of checking the airway before surgery in people with obesity: a breathing tube placed with the help of ultrasound (a handheld device that uses sound waves) versus a standard laryngoscope (a lighted tool). The goal is to see which method is safer and easier for larger patients.
TrabzonAges 18 years+ - NCT06360328Recruiting
Video vs. direct laryngoscopy for new anesthesia residents
This trial compares video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy for placing breathing tubes in patients. It tests which method works better for first-year anesthesia residents during training.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07470736Recruiting
Comparing intubation tools for difficult airways
This trial tests two different ways to help doctors put a breathing tube in a patient with a difficult airway. It compares using a video laryngoscope with a video stylet versus using a video laryngoscope with a fiberoptic scope in a simulated setting.
Kuala Lumpur, Bandar Tun RazakAges Any age - NCT07453563Recruiting
Comparing breathing tube devices in people with severe obesity
This trial compares two devices (Airway Scope and GlideScope) used to place a breathing tube during surgery in people with severe obesity. If you qualify, the study will help find which tool works best for patients like you.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT07353255Recruiting
Comparing two tools for nose breathing tube placement
This trial compares two methods (fibrescope vs videolaryngoscope) for placing a breathing tube through the nose during surgery. It aims to find which technique is easier and safer for patients like you.
Coventry, West MidlandsAges 18 years+ - NCT07351227Recruiting
Comparing devices for placing a breathing tube in children
This study compares two different devices used to help place a breathing tube in children during surgery. It aims to find out which device works better for young children having planned operations.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 6 months–3 years - NCT07189078Recruiting
Comparing intubation methods for patients with low blood oxygen
This study tests two different ways to place a breathing tube in patients who are in intensive care with very low oxygen levels and need help breathing. The goal is to find which method is safer and works better for patients like you.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07065604Recruiting
Tubeless surgery for chest tumor
This trial tests a new way to remove a chest tumor without using a breathing tube or chest tube. If you have a small mediastinal tumor and are in good health, you might be able to have a less invasive surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06757543Recruiting
Comparing video vs direct laryngoscopy for newborn intubation
This study compares two ways of putting a breathing tube into newborn babies: using a video camera to see the airway versus the standard method of looking directly. It aims to find which technique is safer and more effective.
RijekaAges birth–1 month - NCT05983666Recruiting
Using ultrasound to check breathing tube placement
This study tests whether an ultrasound scan on the neck can help doctors confirm that a breathing tube is in the right place (the windpipe) instead of the food pipe during surgery.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–90 - NCT05838690Recruiting
Improving breathing tube placement safety in NICU newborns
This trial focuses on newborns in the NICU who need a breathing tube placed through the mouth or airway. It aims to improve the success and safety of the first intubation while reducing risks.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges Up to 1 year - NCT05804188Recruiting
Testing safer breathing tube care in intubated children
This trial studies care during placing a breathing tube (tracheal intubation) in children having general anesthesia. It may help improve safety and outcomes around the breathing tube process.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 16 years - NCT05412823Recruiting
Testing neurologic function after emergency breathing tube placement
This study looks at how well a person’s brain and nerve function works after doctors place an emergency breathing tube. It may help improve care after urgent intubation, especially for people who were functioning fairly well before the event.
