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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06940219Recruiting
Comparing delayed vs. rapid intubation in emergencies
This trial tests whether delaying medication to start breathing support (by waiting 60 seconds after sedation) is safer for critically ill adults needing emergency intubation. Standard practice is to give sedation then immediately insert the tube.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT07775521Recruiting
Comparing two breathing tube methods for liver transplant surgery
This study compares two ways to help you breathe during liver transplant surgery: one uses a mask in your throat, the other uses a tube. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for people like you.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07779317Recruiting
Midline catheter vs ultrasound-guided IV for hard-to-find veins
This study compares two ways of placing an IV when it is hard to find a vein in the emergency room: a midline catheter (a longer tube placed deeper in the arm) and an ultrasound-guided IV (using sound waves to find the vein). The goal is to see which method works better for patients like you who have difficult IV access.
Albany, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07211308Recruiting
A study of spinal cord stimulation for chronic leg pain
This trial tests a type of spinal cord stimulation (DTM SCS) for people with chronic leg or foot pain caused by nerve damage (PSPS-T2). It aims to see if this treatment can safely reduce pain and improve daily life.
BrusselsAges Any age - NCT07758894Recruiting
Breathing without a breathing tube during heart transplant surgery
This study tests whether heart transplant surgery can be done while the patient is awake and breathing on their own, instead of using a breathing tube. If successful, it may lead to faster recovery and fewer complications.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06776900Recruiting
Breathing tube placement: side vs. back in children
This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube (fiberoptic intubation) in children during surgery: lying on their side versus lying on their back. It aims to see which position is easier and safer for kids having non-head-and-neck surgeries.
CairoAges 2–10 - NCT07204223Recruiting
Tulip airway device for patients with hard-to-ventilate faces
This trial tests a new airway device called Tulip in adults who are expected to be difficult to ventilate with a mask during surgery. It aims to see if it works better than standard methods.
İzmit, KocaeliAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT07021534RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-NK and CAR-T cells for cancer with liver spread
This trial tests a new treatment that uses special immune cells (CAR-NK and CAR-T cells) given directly into the liver artery, then through a vein, to fight advanced solid tumors that have spread to the liver. It is for people who have already tried standard treatments and need new options.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07384611Recruiting
Predicting difficult airway in children before surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intubation; difficult or failed?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 155 recruiting intubation; difficult or failed 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 intubation; difficult or failed 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 intubation; difficult or failed 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.
