Monitoring brain activity during emergency intubation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether monitoring brain activity (using a sensor on the forehead) during emergency intubation helps prevent unstable blood pressure or heart rate. It is for adults who need a breathing tube placed quickly in the emergency room.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need a breathing tube placed quickly in the emergency department.
- A forehead sensor can be placed to monitor brain activity before the tube is inserted.
- You or your legal representative can give written permission (consent).
- You are not pregnant and do not have any condition that prevents placing the sensor on your forehead.

This trial studies whether using blood-pressure support medicines (vasopressors) during breathing tube placement (intubation) can prevent dangerous drops in circulation (“cardiovascular collapse”). It may help patients stay stable during and after intubation, especially in critical illness.
This trial uses a special brain activity sensor to see if it helps doctors during emergency breathing tube placement. It may help understand how patients respond to the procedure.
This study is testing a special monitor (BIS) that tracks brain activity in patients on breathing machines and sedation. The goal is to see if it helps doctors provide better sedation care.
This study looks at how well a device on the forehead tracks brain activity and consciousness in very sleepy intensive care patients who are not on sedatives. It compares their readings to those of more awake patients to see if the monitor works reliably.
This study examines how well a brain-monitoring device (called a bispectral index monitor) tracks your level of consciousness during surgery when you receive anesthesia through an IV. The findings may help doctors better manage anesthesia and keep you safer during procedures.
This study tests a device that monitors your brain waves while your doctor places a breathing tube before surgery. It aims to see if this monitoring helps make the tube placement easier and more comfortable for you.
