Predicting breathing tube removal after face infection surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at patients who had a breathing tube during surgery for a face or jaw infection. The goal is to find out who might need the tube to stay in longer after the operation, so doctors can better plan care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.

- You had surgery to drain the infection (abscess incision and drainage).
- You had a breathing tube placed during surgery (tracheal intubation).
- Your medical records are complete and available.

This study looks at patients who are ready to have their breathing tube removed and checks how to predict who might struggle after extubation. It’s observational, meaning your care won’t be changed—researchers are gathering information to improve future predictions.
This study watches patients after major surgery to see which factors may increase the chance of needing a breathing tube again. It helps doctors better predict and prevent breathing problems in the intensive care unit.
This study tests three measurements taken before removing your breathing tube after surgery to predict whether your lungs are ready to work on their own. The goal is to help doctors safely decide when to extubate (remove the tube) in the operating room.
This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during surgery to see if one causes fewer lung infections after a type of lung surgery (wedge resection). If you are having this surgery, your participation may help find a safer way to breathe during the procedure.
This trial uses a non-invasive monitoring device to see if it can help predict when patients can safely have their breathing tube removed after upper abdominal surgery. The goal is to improve the success of coming off the ventilator.
This trial studies how to predict who is most likely to develop a noisy, tight throat (stridor) after doctors remove the breathing tube following a jaw-stabilizing surgery. It may help clinicians spot higher-risk patients earlier so they can take preventive steps.
