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 trial compares two ways of giving oxygen during a procedure where you are awake but have a tube placed in your windpipe. It may help patients with airways that are hard to open safely.
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 trial tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask during placement of a breathing tube helps patients with severe breathing problems in the ICU. It aims to make intubation safer and improve oxygen levels.
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose (high-flow nasal cannula) during a sedated bronchoscopy can prevent low oxygen levels (hypoxemia) in young children. It may help keep your child safer during the procedure and improve recovery.
This study compares two ways to give oxygen before placing a breathing tube, to see which one keeps oxygen levels higher. It may help patients who need a breathing tube in an emergency or in the hospital.
