Oxygen support during breathing tube placement in ICU with low oxygen
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using high-flow oxygen through a nasal cannula during the breathing tube placement can help keep oxygen levels stable in ICU patients who already have low oxygen. It compares this method to standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You need a breathing tube because you have severe trouble breathing with low oxygen levels.
- You are not in need of emergency intubation (like during a cardiac arrest).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have a known allergy to the medicines used to put you to sleep for the procedure.

This study tests two different ways to place a breathing tube in patients who are in intensive care with very low oxygen levels and need help breathing. The goal is to find which method is safer and works better for patients like you.
This study tests whether a specific oxygen level monitor (end-tidal oxygen, or EtO2) can be used during “preoxygenation” before breathing tube placement. It may help clinicians intubate more safely for people who urgently need a breathing tube due to serious breathing failure.
This trial studies how different oxygen flow rates affect breathing during the process of placing a breathing tube in babies. It may help clinicians choose safer oxygen settings during routine and urgent (but not life-threatening) airway management.
This trial tests whether high-flow oxygen therapy (given through the nose) can help people in the emergency room whose oxygen levels are low due to a lung infection or other lung problem, without needing a breathing tube right away. It compares this to standard oxygen therapy through a mask.
This trial compares three ways of giving extra oxygen to people with low blood oxygen levels: a face mask with continuous pressure, a noninvasive ventilator, or high-flow oxygen through the nose. The goal is to see which method helps people avoid needing a breathing tube.
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.
