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 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07719959Recruiting
3D airway imaging to guide breathing tube placement during lung surgery
This trial tests whether using a 3D model of your airway helps doctors place a breathing tube more precisely during video-assisted lung surgery. It may improve safety and accuracy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06655168Recruiting
Comparing two ways to place breathing tubes in newborns
This trial compares two methods—videolaryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy—for placing a breathing tube in newborns who need help breathing during surgery or in the intensive care unit.

Compare a laryngoscope tool in obese vs nonobese men
This study compares how well a specific breathing tube placement tool (Airtraq) works in men who are obese versus men who are not, during planned surgeries. It may help improve the safety and ease of putting in a breathing tube.
IamitAges 18–80 - NCT07670923RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two sedatives for older patients during non-intubated surgery
This trial compares two sedative medicines, ciprofol and propofol, to see which works better for older patients having surgery without a breathing tube. It aims to find the safer option for your heart and lungs.
Yinchuan, NingxiaAges 65–80 - 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 - NCT06029049RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two muscle relaxants for faster breathing tube placement
This study tests two different muscle relaxant drugs—rocuronium and succinylcholine—to see which one helps doctors place a breathing tube faster during emergency anesthesia. It may be a good fit for people who need general anesthesia for surgery and have either a high body mass index or a difficult airway.
Houston, TexasAges 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+ - 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 - NCT07510542Recruiting
Comparing stress response with standard vs video laryngoscope
This trial compares how the body reacts to stress when a video laryngoscope is used versus a traditional laryngoscope during routine surgeries that do not involve the airway.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–60 - 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.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 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 - NCT06801522RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nasal spray comparison during breathing tube placement
This trial compares two nasal medications (adrenaline and xylometazoline) to see which one reduces bleeding better when placing a breathing tube through the nose. It may help people undergoing planned mouth or jaw surgery.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–60 - NCT05455723Recruiting
Test a new way to manage the breathing tube cuff during nasal intubation
This study tests a method for inflating and deflating the cuff on a breathing tube during nasal intubation (putting the tube through the nose) during an elective dental/maxillofacial surgery. It may help make the procedure safer and easier by improving how the cuff is managed.
IsmailiaAges 21 years+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT07278232Recruiting
Voice test to predict difficult breathing tube placement
This study uses a simple voice recording to see if your voice can help predict whether placing a breathing tube during surgery might be more difficult. It aims to make anesthesia safer for you.
ShanghaiAges 15–70 - 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+ - NCT06945029Recruiting
Comparing two airway devices for children having surgery

Timing of dexmedetomidine for surgery stress response
This trial tests whether giving a single dose of dexmedetomidine (a medicine that helps calm the body's stress response) before surgery can reduce the stress on your heart and blood pressure when a breathing tube is placed. It may help you recover more smoothly.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intubation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 149 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.
