Testing oxygen flow during infant airway tube placement
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial studies how different oxygen flow rates affect breathing during the process of placing a breathing tube in babies. It may help clinicians choose safer oxygen settings during routine and urgent (but not life-threatening) airway management.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby needs a breathing tube (endotracheal tube) placed through the mouth or nose for a procedure
- Your baby is a newborn to 52 weeks past when they were conceived
- A legal guardian can give written consent before the procedure
- There is no expected difficult tube placement (based on exam or past history) that would require a different technique
- Your baby does not have a serious heart condition where oxygen needs are already below 1.0
- Your baby is not in critical collapse needing advanced life support, and the tube is not being placed for an immediate emergency

This study compares two ways to give oxygen before placing a breathing tube, to see which one keeps oxygen levels higher. It may help patients who need a breathing tube in an emergency or in the hospital.
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose during placement of a breathing tube helps young children stay safer. It is for newborns and infants up to about 1 year old who need a breathing tube for surgery or other non-emergency procedures.
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 study looks at how well a special oxygen-delivery device (high-flow nasal cannula) works for children having a scope test of their airway. It aims to find the best oxygen flow rate to keep children safe and breathing well during the procedure.
This trial compares two ways of giving oxygen during a procedure where you are awake but have a tube placed in your windpipe. It may help patients with airways that are hard to open safely.
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.
