Regurgitation risk during intubation: semi-fowler vs supine
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- You are able to speak (not on a breathing tube before the procedure)
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have a physical disability that affects positioning
- You do not have a bowel obstruction
