Intubation clinical trials

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Video-guided breathing tube placement study in the OR

This study tests video-guided placement of a breathing tube through the nose or mouth during a procedure. It may help improve how safely and smoothly intubation is done using video technology.

Stylet shape and breathing tube placement in simulation

This study tests how different stylet shapes affect how well medical students can place a breathing tube during a simulated emergency. It might help find the best tool for training.

Comparing intubation difficulty scales in children

This study compares three different scales used to measure how difficult it is to place a breathing tube using a video laryngoscope (a special camera tool) in children. It may help determine the best way to predict and manage airway challenges during surgery.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Predicting difficult breathing tube placement in septoplasty surgery

This study looks at factors that may predict difficult intubation (placing a breathing tube) in people having septoplasty surgery. It aims to find out how common this is and what signs might help doctors prepare better.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Patient Satisfaction With Awake Intubation Procedure

This study asks patients about their experience and satisfaction with awake intubation—a procedure where you remain conscious while a breathing tube is placed in your airway. Researchers want to understand how patients feel about the procedure and what could improve the experience.

Second-Generation Laryngeal Mask Airway vs Endotracheal Intubation in Adult Liver Transplantation
