Tube rotation for nasal breathing tube placement
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a special way of rotating the breathing tube to help it pass more easily through the nose and into the airway. It may make the procedure smoother for adults having planned surgery who need a tube placed through the nose.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You need a breathing tube placed through your nose for planned surgery.
- You do not have a major nose deformity.
- You do not currently have a heavy nosebleed.

This trial compares whether inserting a breathing tube through the left or right nostril causes less nosebleeds during surgery. It may help plan safer intubation for people having elective surgery.
This study tests a small change in how doctors place a breathing tube for surgery. By gently rotating the tube before inserting it, they hope to reduce sore throats after surgery.
This trial compares two methods (fibrescope vs videolaryngoscope) for placing a breathing tube through the nose during surgery. It aims to find which technique is easier and safer for patients like you.
This trial tests a new way to place a breathing tube through the nose while you are awake, using a thin, flexible scope. It may help people who need this type of intubation for surgery or other procedures.
This trial compares two ways of placing a breathing tube in patients who have a difficult airway and need surgery. One method goes through the mouth, the other through the nose, both while you are awake. The goal is to see which method you prefer.
This study compares two ways of putting a breathing tube through the nose during ear, nose, or throat surgery. One uses a video laryngoscope (a camera device) and the other uses a flexible bronchoscope (a thin, bendable tube with a camera). The goal is to see which method works better on the first try.
