Recruiting studies
- NCT07089173Recruiting
Testing lidocaine or sufentanil to ease breathing tube placement
This trial tests whether adding lidocaine or sufentanil to a standard anesthetic drug (etomidate) helps reduce the dose of remifentanil needed to place a breathing tube comfortably. It may help patients undergoing planned surgery with general anesthesia.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT07081399RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Care plan to prevent complications after tube removal
This trial tests a special care plan for adults who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) for the first time. The goal is to see if this plan helps prevent problems after the breathing tube is removed.
Damanhūr, EgyptAges 18–60 - NCT06716463Recruiting
Predicting breathing support failure with wearable monitoring
This study tests if a wearable chest monitor can predict when breathing support (like a mask or nasal prongs) might stop working, so doctors can act faster. It is for hospital patients who need help breathing but are not on a breathing tube.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 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 - NCT07051980RecruitingPhase 2
Oxygen through a tube above the voice box for sedated ERCP
This study tests a new way to deliver oxygen during a sedated ERCP, using a thin tube placed above the voice box instead of a breathing tube. It aims to see if this method is safe and practical for people having this procedure.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07024433Recruiting
No-breathing-tube surgery for early lung cancer
This study tests a special 'tubeless' anesthesia technique — avoiding breathing tubes during surgery — for people with early-stage lung cancer. The goal is to see if it reduces lung problems after the operation.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT07019818RecruitingPhase 4
Esmolol vs. sufentanil for recovery after gallbladder surgery
This trial tests two different medicines given during gallbladder surgery to see which one helps you recover better. One medicine (esmolol) controls heart rate, while the other (sufentanil) is a strong painkiller. The goal is to find out which approach leads to a smoother recovery after your surgery.
Brive-la-Gaillarde, FranceAges 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 - NCT06968377Recruiting
Device to reduce infection risk during breathing tube placement
This study tests a special device that may lower the risk of spreading germs when a breathing tube is placed during surgery. It is for healthy adults having planned surgery who are not at high risk for complications.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06950957Recruiting
Comparing two airway devices for septoplasty
This trial compares a video laryngeal mask with a breathing tube during septoplasty (nose surgery) to see which works better. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join.
Samsun, IlkadimAges 18–65 - 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+ - NCT06939361Enrolling by invitation
Tube size study during emergency breathing tube placement
This trial compares different sizes of breathing tubes used in emergencies to see which works best. It helps doctors choose the right tube for patients who need help breathing.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06848751Recruiting
Tubeless lung surgery for patients with weak lungs
This trial tests whether a tubeless surgery technique (no breathing tube during or after surgery) is safe and effective for people whose lungs are not working well. If you need lung surgery and have trouble breathing, this approach might help you avoid a breathing tube and a stay in the ICU.
Jinan, ShandongAges 14–85 - NCT06692400Recruiting
Suctioning, pain, and blood markers in intubated patients
This study looks at how routine suctioning of the breathing tube affects pain levels and certain substances in the blood in adults who are on a breathing machine for serious infections like flu, pneumonia, COVID, or sepsis. It may help doctors better understand and manage your comfort during this procedure.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06648759Recruiting
Vagal stimulator to reduce need for nasogastric tube
This trial tests if a device that stimulates the vagus nerve can help patients avoid needing a nasogastric tube after major abdominal surgery, specifically if they develop a slowdown in bowel function called postoperative ileus.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06486168Recruiting
Diaphragm weakness after non-intubated lung surgery
This study looks at how often the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) weakens after lung surgery done without a breathing tube. It aims to help doctors understand recovery and prevent future breathing problems.
Quincy-sous-SénartAges 18 years+ - NCT06443970Recruiting
Comparing suctioning methods for babies on breathing tubes
This study compares two ways of suctioning the breathing tube in newborns who are on a ventilator. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective for your baby.
New York, New YorkAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT05416489Recruiting
Compare two ways to place a bedside tracheostomy
This study compares two methods doctors can use to place a tracheostomy (a breathing tube in the windpipe) at the bedside. It may help find a safer or easier approach for people who need long-term breathing support or cannot be safely weaned from a breathing machine.
Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges 18–85 - NCT06438302Recruiting
Nasal ventilation for patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests whether using a nasal ventilation mask affects how well the brain and lungs work in people who are already on a breathing machine. It is for patients with very low oxygen levels who have been intubated for less than 4 days.
ParisAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06275542Enrolling by invitation
Removing breathing tube without standard monitoring device

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.
