Device to reduce infection risk during breathing tube placement
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special device that may lower the risk of spreading germs when a breathing tube is placed during surgery. It is for healthy adults having planned surgery who are not at high risk for complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having planned (not emergency) surgery.

This study tests a new device called the Origin Intubation System, which helps doctors place a breathing tube during surgery. If you qualify, you may have this device used during your operation to help you breathe while you are asleep.
This study looks at whether a special breathing tube can reduce the chance of small amounts of fluid or germs getting into your lungs during surgery. If you’re having surgery that lasts at least an hour, this might help improve your recovery.
This trial tests a simple device that helps keep the cuff pressure on a breathing tube at the right level. The goal is to reduce the risk of pneumonia that can happen in people on a ventilator.
This trial tests a special method of managing the cuff of the breathing tube and suctioning below the vocal cords to prevent lung infections (pneumonia) in people who need a breathing machine for a long time. It may help reduce the risk of getting a serious lung infection while in the hospital.
This trial is testing if using less air pressure from the breathing machine during abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications. If you are at higher risk for breathing problems after surgery, this study may help find a safer way to manage your breathing during the operation.
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.
