Breathing tube study for avalanche burial simulation
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special breathing tube changes carbon dioxide levels in the body during a simulated avalanche burial. It helps researchers understand how to better protect people trapped under snow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 60 years old.
- You have no known heart or lung problems.
- You have no nerve or muscle disease that affects breathing.
- You have no chest wall deformity.
- You do not have a current cold or respiratory infection.
- You are not claustrophobic (afraid of tight spaces).

This study tests a breathing tube put through the nose to deliver oxygen during a lung exam (bronchoscopy) while you are deeply sedated. It aims to find a safer and more comfortable way to keep your oxygen levels up during the procedure.
This study looks at a specific breathing event (“avalanche phenomenon”) when the lungs are opened in people with early, moderate-to-severe ARDS. The goal is to understand what’s happening in the lungs and whether it can guide better care.
This trial compares two devices (Airway Scope and GlideScope) used to place a breathing tube during surgery in people with severe obesity. If you qualify, the study will help find which tool works best for patients like you.
This trial studies whether changing immune cells in the lungs (using a procedure called MiniBAL) can improve outcomes in adults who are critically ill and on a breathing tube. It may help doctors better manage acute lung injury by targeting inflammation early in the ICU stay.
This study looks at how doctors safely remove breathing tubes from patients with lung injury (ARDS). It aims to find ways to improve decisions about when to take the tube out.
This study compares two different types of breathing tubes for people having surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which tube is easier to place on the first try when using a special video-guided tool.
