Awake breathing tube placement through the nose
This trial tests a new way to place a breathing tube through the nose while you are awake, using a thin, flexible scope. It may help people who need this type of intubation for surgery or other procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 60 years old
- You have an ASA physical status of I to IV (a classification of your overall health before surgery)
- Your doctor says you need a breathing tube placed through your nose while you are awake

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.
