Extra oxygen before breathing tube suctioning in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen before a breathing tube suctioning procedure (called tracheal aspiration) helps patients in the ICU who are on a breathing machine. It aims to make the procedure safer and more comfortable.

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 tests whether a specific oxygen level monitor (end-tidal oxygen, or EtO2) can be used during “preoxygenation” before breathing tube placement. It may help clinicians intubate more safely for people who urgently need a breathing tube due to serious breathing failure.
This trial tests a technique that gives extra oxygen to patients while they are under anesthesia and the breathing tube is being placed. It aims to keep oxygen levels safer during this critical time.
This trial tests whether giving one extra hour of gentle breathing support right after removing the breathing tube helps patients in the ICU breathe better on their own. It aims to improve recovery and reduce the need for reinserting the tube.
This study tests whether using warm, moist oxygen at a high flow rate during the breathing tube removal test can make breathing easier for patients who are at risk of having trouble after the tube is removed. It may help reduce the effort needed to breathe and improve the chances of successful removal.
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
