New awake tube placement through the nose
This study tests a new way to place a breathing tube through the nose while you are awake, which may be safer and more comfortable than standard methods. It is for adults who need this type of tube placement, and it aims to see if the new technique works well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 20 and 60 years old.
- Your health status must be in the range of ASA grade I to IV (this is a standard scale doctors use to rate overall health before procedures).
- Your doctor has determined that you need to be awake while a breathing tube is placed through your nose.
- You must be willing to undergo the procedure.
- You must NOT have any of these conditions: recent head injury, suspected fracture at the base of the skull, a nasal mass, or a severely crooked nasal passage (deviated septum).

This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube (fiberoptic intubation) in children during surgery: lying on their side versus lying on their back. It aims to see which position is easier and safer for kids having non-head-and-neck surgeries.
This trial compares two ways of placing a breathing tube in patients who have a difficult airway and need surgery. One method goes through the mouth, the other through the nose, both while you are awake. The goal is to see which method you prefer.
This study compares different methods for placing a breathing tube while you are awake. It is for people who are having planned surgery and might have a difficult airway—for example, if doctors expect challenges with a face mask, a breathing tube, or if you have a short time before you stop breathing.
This trial compares two methods (fibrescope vs videolaryngoscope) for placing a breathing tube through the nose during surgery. It aims to find which technique is easier and safer for patients like you.
This study tests a way to predict which patients will have a hard time placing a breathing tube while they are awake, using a flexible scope. It aims to help doctors plan safer procedures for people with known difficult airways.
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose during placement of a breathing tube helps young children stay safer. It is for newborns and infants up to about 1 year old who need a breathing tube for surgery or other non-emergency procedures.
