Recruiting studies
- NCT07146984Enrolling by invitation
Testing a training method for emergency room doctors learning intubation
This study tests if a special training method (PDCA cycle) helps emergency medicine residents learn how to place a breathing tube (intubation) more effectively. It might help improve your skills and confidence in a critical emergency procedure.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 25–45 - NCT07131800Enrolling by invitation
Voice changes after breathing tube in head and neck surgery
This study looks at how your voice may change after a breathing tube is used during surgery. It focuses on people having thyroid, head and neck, or abdominal surgery to see if there are any voice changes that can be measured or noticed.
ZagrebAges 18–70 - NCT06964295Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two tools for nasal breathing tube placement in ENT surgery
This study compares two ways of putting a breathing tube through the nose during ear, nose, or throat surgery. One uses a video laryngoscope (a camera device) and the other uses a flexible bronchoscope (a thin, bendable tube with a camera). The goal is to see which method works better on the first try.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06916364Enrolling by invitation
Airway rod for intubation in adults with obesity
This trial tests if a special rod helps place a breathing tube more easily in adults with obesity who are having planned surgery. It could make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07264179Recruiting
Tracheal cuff pressure and complications after surgery
This study will check if keeping the tube in your windpipe at a certain pressure during surgery can help prevent problems like hoarseness or a sore throat after your procedure.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande Do Sul (RS)Ages 18 years+ - NCT06759038Recruiting
Comparing two devices for placing a breathing tube in lung surgery
This trial compares a new video laryngoscope to a standard one for placing a special breathing tube used in lung surgeries. It aims to see which device works better for patients having planned chest operations.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–60 - NCT05279170Recruiting
Mask anesthesia with gentle throat pressure to prevent stomach air
This trial studies a way to hold gentle pressure near the throat during mask anesthesia (with or without a breathing tube) to reduce air going into the stomach. It may help lower the chance of “stomach insufflation” during elective surgery in young children.
LilleAges 2–10 - NCT06628440Recruiting
Mouth check tool for ICU patients with breathing tubes
This study develops a new tool to check the health of the mouth in patients who have a breathing tube in their throat while in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to help nurses better assess and care for the mouth.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05409573Recruiting
Check oxygen monitoring during pre-intubation in the ICU
This study tests whether a specific oxygen level monitor (end-tidal oxygen, or EtO2) can be used during “preoxygenation” before breathing tube placement. It may help clinicians intubate more safely for people who urgently need a breathing tube due to serious breathing failure.
OrléansAges 18 years+ - NCT06975553Enrolling by invitation
Using a carbon dioxide monitor to guide safe breathing-tube removal
This study tests a special carbon dioxide monitor to help decide when it's safe to remove your breathing tube after abdominal surgery. If you are having a planned abdominal procedure lasting 1–4 hours, you may be able to join.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06661967Recruiting
Numbing gel for breathing tube insertion in emergencies
This trial tests if adding a numbing gel to standard care helps doctors insert a breathing tube more quickly on the first try. If you need a breathing tube in the emergency room and are over 18, you may be able to join.
Chon Buri, Changwat Chon BuriAges 18 years+ - NCT06576596Recruiting
Oxygen during breathing tube placement in children
This study tests a method to keep children breathing easily while their airway is being prepared for surgery. It may help children who are 0-6 years old and having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges birth–6 years - NCT06447818Recruiting
Airway changes after sleep apnea surgery
This study looks at how surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) may affect your airway. The goal is to understand if the surgery makes it easier to manage your airway in the future.
Kocaeli, IzmıtAges 18–65 - NCT06275542Enrolling by invitation
Removing breathing tube without standard monitoring device
This study tests if it is safe to remove the breathing tube after surgery based on oxygen levels without using a special nerve monitor. It may help find a simpler method for deciding when to take the tube out.
YogyakartaAges 18–60 - NCT06425406Recruiting
Preventing low oxygen in children during anesthesia with HFNC
This trial tests whether a special oxygen device (HFNC) can prevent low oxygen levels in children during anesthesia. It is for children aged 2-10 who are generally healthy and having surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 2–10 - NCT07493356Recruiting
Predicting difficult airway with STOP-BANG criteria
This trial tests whether the STOP-BANG checklist can help doctors predict when a patient might have a difficult airway during surgery. If you are overweight and having planned surgery with a breathing tube, you may be eligible.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–60 - NCT07241208Recruiting
Comparing two ways to place breathing tube for lung surgery
This study compares two methods to insert a special breathing tube (double-lumen tube) for lung surgery. One method uses a camera on a flexible scope (fiberoptic bronchoscopy) and the other uses a video laryngoscope. Your participation could help doctors know which method works better.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07061548Recruiting
Predicting heart output changes during surgery using capnography
This trial uses a computer algorithm to predict changes in how well your heart pumps blood during surgery. It looks at carbon dioxide levels in your breath to make these predictions. This could help doctors adjust care in real time.
SeoulAges 19–75 - NCT06934876Recruiting
Comparing two CO2 detectors during breathing tube placement in critically ill adults
This study compares two ways of checking that a breathing tube is placed correctly in seriously ill adults: one uses a device that shows a waveform on a screen, and the other uses a color-changing test. It may help doctors choose the best method for patients in the emergency room or ICU.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06757166Recruiting
Non-invasive respiratory support for COVID-19 breathing failure
This study tests if non-invasive breathing support (like a mask or high-flow oxygen) can help hospitalized patients with low oxygen levels due to COVID-19, without needing a breathing tube. It aims to see how well it works and what risks it may have.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07706309Recruiting
Comparing two ways to replace a breathing tube
This trial compares two methods for exchanging a breathing tube: using a bronchoscope (a thin camera) versus a special guide called an airway exchange catheter. It is conducted on Thiel-embalmed body donors to find the safest and most effective way to replace a breathing tube.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07681453Recruiting
Comparing two ways to place a breathing tube: Tulip versus direct view

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.
