Predicting breathing tube time after facial infection surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how long patients need to stay on a breathing tube after surgery to drain an infection in the face or jaw area. It aims to build a tool that helps doctors predict when a patient can safely breathe on their own, which might lead to better care and faster recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have a diagnosed infection in the face or jaw area (maxillofacial space infection).
- You must have had surgery to drain the abscess.

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 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 aims to help doctors predict how long a patient may need a breathing tube after surgery for a serious aortic condition. This could help plan better care and improve recovery.
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.
This study tests whether measuring the face can help doctors predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult. It may help make anesthesia safer for patients.
This study is testing a new way to predict whether placing a breathing tube will be difficult during surgery. It combines different measurements to help doctors plan safer anesthesia for you.
