Tube size study during emergency breathing tube placement
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares different sizes of breathing tubes used in emergencies to see which works best. It helps doctors choose the right tube for patients who need help breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are getting a breathing tube placed through your mouth in a participating hospital unit
- The doctor placing the tube is someone who regularly does this procedure
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are not known to be pregnant

This trial looks at ways to improve the safety and quality of emergency breathing tube placement in pediatric critical care and emergency settings. It may help reduce complications and improve how clinicians do these urgent procedures.
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.
This study compares different sizes of a specialized breathing tube (endotracheal tube) used during surgery to see which size causes less sore throat afterward. If you're having elective surgery under general anesthesia, this trial may help reduce your post-surgery discomfort.
This study compares two methods for choosing the correct size of breathing tube (endotracheal tube) for children undergoing heart surgery. Researchers will test whether measuring the airway with ultrasound helps pick a better-fitting tube than using age-based formulas alone.
This study compares two methods for choosing the right size breathing tube for lung surgery: one uses a CT scan beforehand, the other uses standard sizing. The goal is to see which method works better and causes fewer complications.
This trial tests whether using a thinner or thicker flexible tube (fiberoptic scope) makes it easier to place a breathing tube during anesthesia. It may help patients who need general anesthesia for surgery.
