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+ - NCT01612949Recruiting

Heart and blood pressure risks after breathing tube placement in the ICU
This study looks at heart and blood pressure problems that can happen when a breathing tube is placed in intensive care. It may help doctors make intubation safer for patients.

Experts agree on best ways to manage difficult airways in cancer patients
This study asks a panel of international experts to agree on the best ways to manage difficult airways in cancer patients. If you are a specialist with at least five years of experience caring for cancer patients with airway problems, your opinion could help shape future guidelines.

Comparing two muscle relaxants for breathing tube placement during surgery
This study compares a new muscle relaxant medication with a standard one to see how well they work for placing a breathing tube and maintaining muscle relaxation during surgery. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT07733245Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Muscle relaxant HRS-9190 for general anesthesia surgery
This study tests a new medicine (HRS-9190) that helps relax muscles during surgery. It is for people having a planned surgery that lasts 1.5 to 4 hours under general anesthesia with a breathing tube. The goal is to see if the medicine works well and is safe.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT07722897Recruiting
Monitoring brain activity during emergency intubation
This study tests whether monitoring brain activity (using a sensor on the forehead) during emergency intubation helps prevent unstable blood pressure or heart rate. It is for adults who need a breathing tube placed quickly in the emergency room.
AntalyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07690254Recruiting
Brain monitor for emergency intubation
This trial uses a special brain activity sensor to see if it helps doctors during emergency breathing tube placement. It may help understand how patients respond to the procedure.
AntalyaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07630467Recruiting
Video Laryngoscopy for Emergency Airway Management
This pilot study tests a new camera-assisted tool to help paramedics insert breathing tubes in emergencies. Researchers want to see if this device makes the procedure safer and more successful when done outside the hospital.
ValenciennesAges 18 years+ - NCT07611890RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two medications to reduce heart stress during cardiac surgery
This trial tests whether dexmedetomidine or lignocaine better prevents dangerous heart-rate and blood-pressure changes when a breathing tube is placed during heart surgery. If you're having cardiac surgery and are at high risk for heart complications, this study may help protect your heart during the procedure.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–65 - NCT07588165Recruiting
Measuring Pain During Emergency Breathing Tube Placement
This study tests a pain-monitoring device during emergency anesthesia for stomach or abdominal surgery. Researchers want to see how well the device (called ANI) detects pain when doctors quickly put a breathing tube in your airway.
MonacoAges 18 years+ - NCT07568743Recruiting
Video airway tool with or without assist device for surgery
This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube during elective surgery using a video camera. Researchers want to see if adding a special assist device makes the procedure safer and easier for patients with straightforward airway anatomy.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06712186RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Dexmedetomidine for safer intubation in high blood pressure patients
This study tests if dexmedetomidine can help prevent dangerous blood pressure spikes during breathing tube placement for surgery in patients with high blood pressure. It is for older adults (over 60) who have been managing their hypertension for at least 6 months.
Karachi, SindhAges 60 years+ - NCT07551258Recruiting
Immune System Changes and Lung Infection in Critically Ill Older Adults
This study looks at how the immune system changes in older patients on breathing machines in the ICU, and whether these changes affect the risk of developing pneumonia. Understanding this may help doctors better protect critically ill patients from infection.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07530146RecruitingPhase 3
Sedation Medications for Older ICU Patients on Breathing Machines
This study compares two sedation medications—propofol alone versus propofol combined with ketamine—in older patients in the ICU who are on breathing machines due to infection or lung problems. The goal is to find which combination is safer and works better for keeping patients calm and comfortable.
CairoAges 65 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+ - NCT06759038Recruiting

Comparing head positions for placing a breathing tube during surgery
This study compares two ways of positioning your head and neck when placing a breathing tube for surgery. It tests whether using a custom pillow in a 'ramp' position works better than the standard 'sniffing' position. The goal is to make intubation safer and easier for patients with a certain body type.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intubation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 151 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.
