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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests whether using high-flow oxygen through a nasal cannula during the breathing tube placement can help keep oxygen levels stable in ICU patients who already have low oxygen. It compares this method to standard care.
This study looks for chemical “biomarkers” in samples taken during ICU care to better understand what happens during mechanical ventilation. It may help future care by identifying signs that could guide safer breathing-machine treatment.
This trial tests a breathing tube with a special drain to remove fluid from above the cuff, combined with a device that monitors cuff pressure. The goal is to prevent bacteria from leaking past the tube into the lungs, which can cause serious infections in ICU patients.
This trial tests if different oxygen levels before removing a breathing tube after abdominal surgery can prevent low oxygen levels in the recovery room. It may help patients avoid breathing problems after waking up.
This trial tests if giving extra oxygen through a special laryngoscope blade can help patients maintain oxygen levels while a breathing tube is placed during general anesthesia. It may be an option for adults having surgery with general anesthesia.
