Oxygen via nasal tube for babies during breathing tube placement
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose during placement of a breathing tube helps young children stay safer. It is for newborns and infants up to about 1 year old who need a breathing tube for surgery or other non-emergency procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child needs to have a breathing tube (intubation) placed for surgery or another procedure that is planned or urgent (not an emergency).
- The child must be a newborn or infant up to about 1 year old (52 weeks past their due date).
- The legal guardians must sign a consent form before the procedure.
- The doctor must not expect the intubation to be difficult based on their exam or past experiences.
- The child cannot need a special method (other than a standard laryngoscope) to place the breathing tube.
- The child cannot have certain serious health problems, like a heart condition that requires low oxygen levels, or need life-saving CPR at the time of intubation.

This study tests whether using high-flow oxygen through the nose during a procedure to place a breathing tube improves the doctor's view of your airway. Researchers believe this may make the procedure safer and easier.
This trial studies how different oxygen flow rates affect breathing during the process of placing a breathing tube in babies. It may help clinicians choose safer oxygen settings during routine and urgent (but not life-threatening) airway management.
This study tests a method to keep children breathing easily while their airway is being prepared for surgery. It may help children who are 0-6 years old and having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
This study tests whether using high-flow oxygen through a nasal cannula during the breathing tube placement can help keep oxygen levels stable in ICU patients who already have low oxygen. It compares this method to standard care.
This study tests whether high-flow oxygen delivered through the nose helps children breathe better during a sedated procedure to look inside their lungs. Researchers want to see if this oxygen method prevents low blood oxygen levels during the procedure.
This trial tests if giving extra oxygen through a special laryngoscope blade can help patients maintain oxygen levels while a breathing tube is placed during general anesthesia. It may be an option for adults having surgery with general anesthesia.
