Breathing tube placement with sedation only to preserve breathing
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving only sedation (not a paralytic drug) during emergency breathing tube placement can help you keep breathing on your own. It aims to see if this approach is safer and helps recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a breathing tube placed in an emergency situation
- The procedure uses sedation (medicine to relax you) but no muscle-paralyzing drug
- The doctor plans to use a video laryngoscope (a camera-guided tool) for the tube placement
- You are 18 years or older
- You are not pregnant
- You are not in prison

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 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 a breathing tube put through the nose to deliver oxygen during a lung exam (bronchoscopy) while you are deeply sedated. It aims to find a safer and more comfortable way to keep your oxygen levels up during the procedure.
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 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.
