Monitoring brain waves during breathing tube placement
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia where a breathing tube will be placed through your mouth.
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health conditions (classified as ASA I, II, or III).
- You are not expected to have a difficult breathing tube placement, and you do not have conditions like severe heart disease, liver failure, or a neuromuscular disorder.
- You are not on long-term opioid, antidepressant, antipsychotic, or antiepileptic medications.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or lower.

This study is testing a new way to predict whether placing a breathing tube will be difficult during surgery. It combines different measurements to help doctors plan safer anesthesia for you.
This study tests a new way to monitor anesthesia depth by continuously analyzing exhaled breath, which may reduce the need for invasive monitoring. It could help patients avoid too much or too little anesthesia during surgery.
This study tests a way to predict which patients will have a hard time placing a breathing tube while they are awake, using a flexible scope. It aims to help doctors plan safer procedures for people with known difficult airways.
This study compares different methods for placing a breathing tube while you are awake. It is for people who are having planned surgery and might have a difficult airway—for example, if doctors expect challenges with a face mask, a breathing tube, or if you have a short time before you stop breathing.
This study looks at how hard it is to place a breathing tube using a special camera-guided laryngoscope during planned surgery. It aims to create a scoring system to help doctors prepare for potential challenges.
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.
