Comparing two drugs for easier breathing tube placement
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two medicines—remifentanil and rocuronium—to see which helps doctors place a breathing tube more easily during anesthesia. It may help you if you are having routine surgery and need a tube for breathing support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two different devices (a video laryngeal mask and a video laryngoscope) used to help you breathe during surgery. It aims to see which tool works better for placing a breathing tube in patients having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
This trial tests three tools doctors use to place a breathing tube during general anesthesia. It aims to find which device works best on the first try for adults having surgery.
This trial tests whether adding lidocaine or sufentanil to a standard anesthetic drug (etomidate) helps reduce the dose of remifentanil needed to place a breathing tube comfortably. It may help patients undergoing planned surgery with general anesthesia.
This study tests two different muscle relaxant drugs—rocuronium and succinylcholine—to see which one helps doctors place a breathing tube faster during emergency anesthesia. It may be a good fit for people who need general anesthesia for surgery and have either a high body mass index or a difficult airway.
This study tests using two medicines (fentanyl for pain and rocuronium to relax muscles) to help newborns in the NICU get a breathing tube placed more comfortably and safely. It may help if your baby needs a planned breathing tube and is otherwise stable.
This study compares a new muscle relaxant medication with a standard one to see how well they work for placing a breathing tube and maintaining muscle relaxation during surgery. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
