Bougie versus tube for first-attempt breathing tube success
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods of placing a breathing tube during a medical emergency outside the hospital: using a flexible device called a bougie versus just the tube alone. It aims to see which method is more successful on the first try.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being treated by a physician from a mobile intensive care unit (like an emergency doctor in an ambulance).
- You need a breathing tube placed quickly in an emergency outside the hospital.

This study tests an approach to improve how clinicians place an emergency breathing tube quickly and safely when someone is in serious breathing or life-threatening distress. It may help by standardizing care and optimizing medications and backup steps during urgent situations.
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 compares two different tools used to place a breathing tube in patients who are expected to have a difficult airway, using a video camera (videolaryngoscopy). It may help doctors choose the safer or easier tool for first-attempt tube placement.
This study looks at ways to make putting in a breathing tube safer and more successful for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to reduce complications and improve the first attempt at placing the tube.
This trial tests two methods for giving oxygen before placing a breathing tube in an emergency. It looks at which technique causes fewer problems and helps oxygen levels stay stable.
