Comparing ways to give oxygen before emergency intubation
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests two methods for giving oxygen before placing a breathing tube in an emergency. It looks at which technique causes fewer problems and helps oxygen levels stay stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are still breathing on your own.
- Your doctor does not expect a difficult airway.
- You need a breathing tube for a non-injury reason (like severe breathing failure, trouble protecting your airway, shock, or uncontrolled seizures).
- You are not in cardiac arrest.

This study compares two ways of positioning patients when they need an emergency breathing tube, to see if one is safer or easier. It may help doctors place the tube more quickly and with fewer complications.
This trial tests a new way to give medication to help place a breathing tube during surgery. It looks at how well this method works for patients who are not at high risk for complications.
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 tests whether delaying medication to start breathing support (by waiting 60 seconds after sedation) is safer for critically ill adults needing emergency intubation. Standard practice is to give sedation then immediately insert the tube.
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 compares two ways to give oxygen before placing a breathing tube, to see which one keeps oxygen levels higher. It may help patients who need a breathing tube in an emergency or in the hospital.
