Testing vasopressors to prevent low blood pressure during intubation
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether using blood-pressure support medicines (vasopressors) during breathing tube placement (intubation) can prevent dangerous drops in circulation (“cardiovascular collapse”). It may help patients stay stable during and after intubation, especially in critical illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re being admitted to a participating hospital, or scheduled to be admitted there
- You need a breathing tube placed (tracheal intubation) in the study hospital
- You have a life-threatening condition where intubation is needed for breathing/circulation or brain/neurologic problems
- You are planned to get sedation for the intubation (with or without muscle-relaxing medicine)
- You are age 18 or older

This trial tests if a drug called vasopressin can help prevent acute kidney injury in patients at high risk. It's for adults in the ICU who have a predicted risk score of 5 or higher based on their lab and health data.
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.
This study tests two different ways to place a breathing tube in patients who are in intensive care with very low oxygen levels and need help breathing. The goal is to find which method is safer and works better for patients like you.
This trial tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask during placement of a breathing tube helps patients with severe breathing problems in the ICU. It aims to make intubation safer and improve oxygen levels.
This trial tests whether giving a small dose of epinephrine (adrenaline) before emergency intubation helps prevent dangerously low blood pressure during the procedure. It may help patients who are already hypotensive or at risk of becoming hypotensive.
This trial studies whether “blood pressure–supporting” medicines (given through a central line) work well and safely for adults in the ICU who have shock. Your team may use the results to improve care for people with low blood pressure and poor blood flow to organs.
