Recruiting studies

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+ - NCT06329817Recruiting
Regurgitation risk during intubation: semi-fowler vs supine
This trial compares two positions (semi-fowler and supine) during intubation to see which reduces regurgitation risk. It may help if you are an adult scheduled for intubation.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–60 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06578468Recruiting
Using exhaled oxygen to prevent low oxygen during emergency intubation
This trial tests a method to measure oxygen in the air you breathe out during emergency intubation. It aims to help doctors prevent low oxygen levels in patients at high risk, such as those with pneumonia, sepsis, or obesity.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06585306Recruiting
High-flow oxygen for obese patients during sedative gastroscopy
This trial tests whether high-flow nasal oxygen can help obese patients breathe better during a sedated stomach exam (gastroscopy). It aims to make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06651879Recruiting
Ultrasound airway check in severe preeclampsia patients for C-section
This study compares two ways of using ultrasound to look at the airway in women with severe preeclampsia who need a C-section under general anesthesia. It aims to find which technique is better, so doctors can prepare more safely for your breathing tube placement.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges Any age - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06795971Recruiting
Comparing oxygen methods for hypoxemic respiratory failure
This trial compares three ways of giving extra oxygen to people with low blood oxygen levels: a face mask with continuous pressure, a noninvasive ventilator, or high-flow oxygen through the nose. The goal is to see which method helps people avoid needing a breathing tube.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06815952Recruiting
Better way to predict difficult breathing tube placement
This study is testing a new way to predict whether placing a breathing tube will be difficult during surgery. It combines different measurements to help doctors plan safer anesthesia for you.
BeirutAges 18 years+ - NCT06829732Recruiting
Closed-loop oxygen control for ICU patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests a closed-loop system that automatically adjusts the oxygen level in your breathing tube, aiming to keep your oxygen levels in a safe range with less need for manual changes. It may help if you are in the ICU, need a breathing machine, and have low blood oxygen despite receiving extra oxygen.
Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06840106Recruiting
Steam therapy for breathing issues after thyroid removal
This study tests whether breathing in steam can help with sore throat, cough, or other breathing problems that sometimes happen after a thyroid surgery. If you had a thyroid tumor removed and are having these symptoms, this treatment might help you feel better.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19–69 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT07098910Recruiting
Surfactant therapy for premature babies with breathing problems
This trial tests whether giving surfactant (a substance that helps lungs stay open) to premature babies with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) through a mask on the throat (supraglottic airway) is safe and effective. It may be an option for babies who need extra oxygen but are not on a breathing tube.

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.
