Recruiting studies
- NCT05736198Recruiting
Compare two sedation options for awake intubation
This trial compares two different sedation choices for people who have airway conditions that make breathing tubes harder to place, and who still need an awake fiberoptic intubation. It may help find a sedation approach that’s safer and more comfortable during the procedure.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05927519Recruiting
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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06346119Recruiting
Touch relaxation in ICU patients on a breathing machine
This study tests whether gentle touch therapy (like a hand or foot massage) helps reduce stress in patients who are on a breathing machine and sedated in the ICU. The goal is to make the recovery process more comfortable.
NiortAges 18 years+ - NCT06374030Recruiting
Airway management study in Dutch emergency departments
This study looks back at medical records of patients who had a breathing tube placed in Dutch emergency departments from 2019 to 2023. It aims to understand how doctors manage airways in emergency settings.
LeeuwardenAges Any age - NCT06612242Recruiting
Early vs. late tracheostomy in Guillain-Barre patients
This trial looks at whether having a tracheostomy (a breathing tube placed through the neck) earlier or later helps people with Guillain-Barre syndrome who need a breathing machine. It reviews past cases to see which timing leads to better recovery.
Kfar SabaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Tunis, Tunis GovernorateAges 1 minute–4 weeks - NCT06750939Recruiting
Comparing two sedatives for ICU breathing tube placement
This study compares two medicines (propofol and ketamine) used to help you relax and stay stable while a breathing tube is placed. The goal is to see which one is safer for your heart and blood pressure during this procedure in the ICU.
Köseköy, KocaeliAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06881576Recruiting
Video study of intubation in children having surgery
This trial is studying how doctors place breathing tubes (intubation) in children during planned surgeries. Researchers will use video to review and improve the process, which may help make future procedures safer.
Madrid, MadridAges birth–18 years - NCT06887335Recruiting
Deep sedation with early breathing tube for advanced bronchoscopy
This trial tests whether putting a breathing tube in before sedation (instead of waiting until later) makes advanced bronchoscopy safer and more comfortable. If you need a bronchoscopy for diagnosis or treatment, this study may be an option for you.
YangsanAges 19–90 - 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+ - NCT06945029Recruiting
Comparing two airway devices for children having surgery
This study compares two devices used to help children breathe during surgery. It will see which one works best for placing a breathing tube through a scope in children aged 4 to 8 years old.
Cairo, Giza GovernorateAges 4–8 - NCT06953414Recruiting
Predicting difficult awake breathing tube placement
This study tests a way to predict which patients will have a hard time placing a breathing tube while they are awake, using a flexible scope. It aims to help doctors plan safer procedures for people with known difficult airways.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 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+ - NCT07017283Recruiting
Comparing two sedation methods for older adults having ERCP
This study compares two ways of keeping you comfortable and safe during an ERCP procedure: deeper sedation with a breathing tube versus deep sedation without a breathing tube. It aims to find which method causes fewer side effects in older adults.
Hangzhou, ZhijiangAges 60 years+ - NCT07065565Recruiting
Tubeless surgery for windpipe and airway reconstruction
This trial tests a surgery to repair the windpipe (trachea) or its branches (carina) without using a breathing tube during the procedure. It may help patients with certain airway diseases who are healthy enough to avoid traditional breathing support during surgery.
Guangdong, GaungzhouAges 18–80 - NCT07165483Recruiting
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.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18–65 - NCT07222007Recruiting
Induction agent choice and survival in ICU patients
This study looks at how the type of medicine used to start sedation in the surgical ICU affects early survival and recovery. It may help doctors choose safer options for critically ill patients.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07316179Recruiting
Predicting breathing tube placement in weight-loss surgery
This study compares two methods—a standard risk score (El Ganzouri index) and an ultrasound exam—to predict how easy it will be to place a breathing tube during weight-loss surgery. The goal is to find the best way to keep patients safe during anesthesia.
Antalya, AntalyaAges 18–65 - NCT02514655Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intubation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 154 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.
