Comparing two oxygen methods before breathing tube placement
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You need a breathing tube placed quickly, but not as an immediate emergency.
- Both oxygen methods can be used on you (no facial injuries or blockages).
- You are not pregnant.
- You are not already on a breathing machine or have a do-not-intubate order.

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 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 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 trial tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask during placement of a breathing tube helps patients with severe breathing problems in the ICU. It aims to make intubation safer and improve oxygen levels.
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 compares two ways of giving oxygen (high-flow through the nose vs. a T-piece) to help patients come off a breathing machine safely. It aims to see which method works better during a test of your ability to breathe on your own.
