Pneumonia risk after emergency intubation

This study tests if careful management of the pressure in the breathing tube's cuff and regular cleaning below the vocal cords can help prevent lung infections in people who need a breathing machine for a long time. It might help if you're at risk for stomach contents or saliva going into your lungs.

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.

This study tests an approach to improve how clinicians place an emergency breathing tube quickly and safely when someone is in serious breathing or life-threatening distress. It may help by standardizing care and optimizing medications and backup steps during urgent situations.

This trial looks at ways to improve the safety and quality of emergency breathing tube placement in pediatric critical care and emergency settings. It may help reduce complications and improve how clinicians do these urgent procedures.

This study looks at patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who needed a breathing tube to protect their airway. It aims to understand when a tracheostomy (a tube placed directly into the windpipe) is done and why, which may help improve care for future patients.

This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during surgery to see if one causes fewer lung infections after a type of lung surgery (wedge resection). If you are having this surgery, your participation may help find a safer way to breathe during the procedure.
