Recruiting studies
- 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.

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 - NCT06605989Recruiting
Which nostril is better for breathing tube placement?
This trial compares whether inserting a breathing tube through the left or right nostril causes less nosebleeds during surgery. It may help plan safer intubation for people having elective surgery.
Seoul, Dongjak-guAges 19 years+ - NCT06601036Recruiting
Sevoflurane sedation for difficult airway patients
This study is testing a sedative medicine (sevoflurane) to help people with a difficult airway breathe more easily during a procedure. It may be an alternative to being awake while a tube is placed in your windpipe.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18–50 - NCT06558630Recruiting
Emergency room airway management in the Netherlands
This study looks at how breathing tubes and other airway care are done in emergency rooms across the Netherlands. It will include anyone who needs help breathing while in the ER, so doctors can learn from their experience.
LeeuwardenAges Any age - NCT06514690Recruiting
Memories after sedation for difficult airway intubation
This study looks at whether people remember anything during sedation for a breathing tube placement when they have a difficult airway. It uses a special camera scope to help guide the tube.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06085326Recruiting
Smart checklist study for child breathing tube placements
This trial tests using a smart checklist to help doctors place breathing tubes more safely in children in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help improve care for any child who needs this procedure.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges Up to 19 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.
JeddahAges 18 years+ - NCT06709183Enrolling by invitation
Mouth care tool for patients on breathing tubes
This study tests a new mouth care device for patients who are on breathing tubes. It asks nurses to help improve oral care in the ICU.
Bitlis, MerkezAges 18 years+ - NCT06533436Recruiting
Comparing two ways to secure a breathing tube
This study compares two methods of holding a breathing tube in place for patients who are already intubated. The goal is to see which method works better and costs less.
SuresnesAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05790733Recruiting
Communication training versus usual care for feeding tube placement
This study compares a special communication approach to the usual method when placing a naso-gastric (feeding) tube in people receiving chemotherapy. It aims to see whether better communication can make tube placement easier and more tolerable.
Rennes, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT01612949Recruiting
Photos to help predict difficult breathing tube placement
This trial looks at pictures of the face and neck to help classify which people are harder to place a breathing tube. It may help anesthesiology teams prepare and choose safer steps if a tube is difficult to insert.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT07440199Recruiting
Comparing two pain blocks for lung surgery without a breathing tube
This study compares two different pain-blocking techniques for a specific type of lung surgery. It aims to see which one provides better pain relief for patients who are awake during the procedure.
ElâzığAges 18–65 - NCT07612995Recruiting
3D Printing Models to Help Students Practice Breathing Tube Placement
This study tests whether using 3D-printed models of airways helps medical students learn to place breathing tubes (endotracheal intubation) more successfully. Researchers will compare traditional training methods with this new 3D printing technology.
Taiyuan, ShaanxiAges Any age - NCT06986187Recruiting
Predicting difficult airways in heart surgery patients
This study measures how often difficult airways occur during heart or blood vessel surgery and builds a way to predict them beforehand. It may help your care team prepare for safer airway management during your procedure.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06683599Recruiting
Oxygen via nasal tube for babies during breathing tube placement
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose during placement of a breathing tube helps young children stay safer. It is for newborns and infants up to about 1 year old who need a breathing tube for surgery or other non-emergency procedures.
Perth, Western AustraliaAges 1 minute–12 months - NCT06700681Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two sedatives for heart ablation procedures
This trial compares two sedative medicines (remimazolam and propofol) given during heart ablation procedures. The study uses brain-wave monitoring to see which medicine provides better sedation and recovery. It's for people who are already scheduled for this procedure with a specific doctor.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - NCT06564857RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two drugs for easier breathing tube placement
This trial compares two medicines—remifentanil and rocuronium—to see which helps doctors place a breathing tube more easily during anesthesia. It may help you if you are having routine surgery and need a tube for breathing support.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06537531Recruiting
Video study of breathing tube placement in Spain
This trial records videos of the breathing tube placement process during planned surgeries at hospitals in Spain and Portugal. The goal is to study different techniques and improve safety.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–90 - NCT06453525Recruiting
Automated assessment of difficult airway before surgery
This study tests an automated tool to help doctors assess your airway before surgery, aiming to make breathing tube placement safer. It is for adults who are already scheduled for general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
LausanneAges 18–100 - NCT06420258RecruitingPhase 4
Deeper intubation for cervical esophageal cancer removal
This study tests if inserting the endoscope deeper helps remove early-stage cervical esophageal cancer or precancerous cells more effectively. It may offer a safer, less invasive option for you.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT07384494Recruiting
High-flow oxygen vs regular oxygen for awake intubation with difficult airways
This trial compares two ways of giving oxygen during a procedure where you are awake but have a tube placed in your windpipe. It may help patients with airways that are hard to open safely.
Wuwei, GansuAges 18 years+ - NCT07483164Enrolling by invitation
Study of a drug to help with breathing tube placement
This trial tests a new way to give medication to help place a breathing tube during surgery. It looks at how well this method works for patients who are not at high risk for complications.

- Are there clinical trials for intubation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 156 recruiting 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 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 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.
