Bronchoscopy for aspiration pneumonia in the ER
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a thin, flexible scope (bronchoscopy) to suck out fluid and debris from the lungs helps adults with aspiration pneumonia in the emergency room. It is for those who need help clearing their airways due to swallowing problems or pneumonia on imaging.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia (pneumonia from inhaling food or liquid) by a doctor or on a chest X-ray, CT scan, or ultrasound
- You have trouble clearing secretions from your mouth or upper airway, or have respiratory distress (trouble breathing), especially if you have swallowing problems (dysphagia)
- You need oxygen therapy, or more oxygen than you usually need at home
- You do not have any of the following: bleeding disorders, dangerous heart rhythms, severe airway blockage, or pregnancy

This study checks how safe bronchoscopy is for people with interstitial lung disease (ILD), a condition that scars the lungs. It aims to provide better information to help doctors and patients decide if this procedure is right for them.
This study tests whether an AI-assisted navigation system helps doctors perform bronchoscopies more accurately in people with severe pneumonia. The goal is to improve diagnosis and treatment of severe pneumonia.
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
This study tests whether doing a bronchoscopy (a procedure where a tiny camera is used to wash out the lungs) at the right time helps children with severe pneumonia recover better. The goal is to find the best timing for this procedure to improve breathing and speed up healing.
This study looks at how useful a procedure called flexible bronchoscopy is for diagnosing and treating breathing or lung issues in children. During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube with a camera is passed into the airways to see inside and sometimes take samples or remove blockages.
This trial studies how to give oxygen and breathing support during a flexible bronchoscopy (a camera test through the airways). It may help make the procedure safer and more comfortable by refining the way oxygen is managed during the test.
