Alerts to keep your breathing tube in place
This study tests a special monitoring system that helps doctors and nurses make sure the breathing tube (the tube that helps you breathe) is in the right place. It aims to improve safety and comfort for patients in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing a method to regularly measure and manage the pressure in the balloon (cuff) of the breathing tube to help prevent damage to your windpipe. It is for patients in the intensive care unit who need a breathing machine for more than a day.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive breathing monitor to help doctors decide when it's safe to remove the breathing tube after upper abdominal surgery. It aims to reduce complications by predicting who will breathe well on their own.
This trial is testing a new way to monitor your breathing while you are on a ventilator, to make it safer. It is for people who need a ventilator for reasons other than lung failure, like after a coma, injury, or severe infection.
This study tests a special mouth care routine to see if it can prevent sores and damage inside the mouth caused by breathing tubes in intensive care. It may help patients who need a breathing tube feel more comfortable and avoid complications.
This study looks at newborn babies who need a breathing tube (endotracheal tube) to help them breathe. It aims to understand how germs (colonization) grow on the tube, which could help improve care for babies in the future.
This study checks the position of a breathing tube (laryngeal mask airway) using a tiny camera (bronchoscope) during general anesthesia. The goal is to see if the camera helps confirm that the tube is placed correctly, which may improve safety and comfort.
