Memories after sedation for difficult airway intubation
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people remember anything during sedation for a breathing tube placement when they have a difficult airway. It uses a special camera scope to help guide the tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for surgery
- Your doctor thinks inserting a breathing tube may be difficult
- You do not have a cognitive disorder (like dementia or confusion)

This trial compares two different sedation choices for people who have airway conditions that make breathing tubes harder to place, and who still need an awake fiberoptic intubation. It may help find a sedation approach that’s safer and more comfortable during the procedure.
This study is testing a sedative medicine (sevoflurane) to help people with a difficult airway breathe more easily during a procedure. It may be an alternative to being awake while a tube is placed in your windpipe.
This trial tests whether putting a breathing tube in before sedation (instead of waiting until later) makes advanced bronchoscopy safer and more comfortable. If you need a bronchoscopy for diagnosis or treatment, this study may be an option for you.
This trial tests a new system to monitor sedation in ICU patients who need a breathing tube and sedation for more than a day. It aims to improve care for patients on ventilators.
This trial tests a new type of breathing tube used during routine stomach and colon exams with sedation. It aims to prevent drops in oxygen levels in patients aged 65-80.
This trial tests whether using a special brain monitor (BIS) to guide sedation after heart surgery helps with recovery compared to standard care. It is for adults who will be on a breathing machine and sedated for more than 6 hours after their operation.
