Improving first attempt success for breathing tubes in intensive care
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to make putting in a breathing tube safer and more successful for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to reduce complications and improve the first attempt at placing the tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be in the intensive care unit (ICU) and need a breathing tube.
- The tube must be placed while you are in the ICU.
- You cannot be in cardiac arrest (heart stopped) at the time the tube is placed.

This study collects information about how breathing tubes are placed in emergency room patients to improve safety and outcomes. It may help doctors learn better ways to manage airways during emergencies.
This study tests whether two simple breathing measurements can predict whether patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. If successful, it could help doctors make safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
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 heart and blood pressure problems that can happen when a breathing tube is placed in intensive care. It may help doctors make intubation safer for patients.
This trial compares two methods of placing a breathing tube during a medical emergency outside the hospital: using a flexible device called a bougie versus just the tube alone. It aims to see which method is more successful on the first try.
