Sevoflurane sedation for difficult airway patients
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 50 years old.
- You are generally healthy or have a mild health condition (like controlled high blood pressure).
- You have been told you have a 'difficult airway' (your mouth opening is less than 2 inches and the back of your throat is hard to see).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder, a growth in your nose, or uncontrolled health problems.
- You are not allergic to the study medicines, and you have not had nose or throat surgery or drug abuse.

This trial compares inhaled isoflurane sedation to standard propofol sedation in deeply sedated patients on ventilators. It aims to see if inhaled sedation improves outcomes.
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 tests a type of anesthesia that uses less gas for children ages 3 to 10 getting eye muscle surgery. It may be safer and cause fewer side effects.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a specific inhaled sedative (sevoflurane) is safe and helpful for people with septic shock who need ICU sedation and a breathing machine. It may improve how patients tolerate intensive care treatment, but eligibility is limited to a short time window after septic shock begins.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether inhaled sevoflurane (a breathing anesthetic) can help prevent ARDS, a serious lung injury, in high-risk ICU patients who need sedation. It aims to reduce the chance of developing ARDS by using this medication during the early period on a breathing machine.
This study tests whether giving numbing medication before putting children to sleep for dental work reduces the amount of anesthesia gas needed. It may help make dental procedures safer and more efficient for kids aged 4–12.
