-
Effect of a brief educational intervention on endotracheal tube cuff pressure
A short educational video and reminder posters are tested to see if they help operating room staff keep endotracheal tube cuff pressure within the recommended range for adult patients under general anesthesia.
-
Two Videolaryngoscopes for Intubating Children: A Pediatric Comparison
This observational study tests how two different videolaryngoscopes perform during pediatric intubations to see which makes the process quicker and easier.
-
Hyperangulated vs. Macintosh blades for obstetric intubation
This study tests whether a hyperangulated blade or a Macintosh-style blade helps obstetric patients get an endotracheal tube placement more safely during cesarean deliveries under general anesthesia.
-
Predicting difficult mask ventilation and intubation using STOP-BANG in obese adults
This study will test whether the STOP-BANG questionnaire can predict difficult mask ventilation and difficult intubation in obese adults having elective surgery.
-
Comparing oxygen levels and complications with delayed versus rapid sequence intubation
This tests whether delayed sequence intubation or rapid sequence intubation gives better oxygen levels and fewer complications for adults who are breathing on their own but need a breathing tube for non‑traumatic reasons.
-
Intravenous labetalol versus lignocaine to reduce heart rate and blood pressure spikes during intubation for laparoscopic gallbladder removal
This test will try a single IV dose of labetalol or lignocaine given before intubation to see which better prevents sudden heart rate and blood pressure rises in adults having elective laparoscopic gallbladder surgery.
-
Timing of a single dexmedetomidine dose before laryngoscopy and intubation and its effect on stress response.
This trial will test whether giving one dose of dexmedetomidine earlier or closer to surgery can reduce the blood pressure and heart rate changes caused by laryngoscopy and intubation in adults aged 18–65 with ASA I–II.
-
Improving predictions for difficult airway management
This study is testing a new scoring system that uses both traditional checks and ultrasound images to better predict if adults will have a hard time with their airway during anesthesia.
-
Comparing fiberoptic intubation positions in children during surgery
This study tests whether the position a child is in during fiberoptic intubation for surgery affects how well the procedure goes and if there are any complications.
-
Comparing video and direct laryngoscopy for intubating newborns
This study tests whether using video laryngoscopy or direct laryngoscopy is better for helping newborns who need breathing support through intubation.
-
Effects of suctioning on pain and stress in intubated ICU patients
This study is testing if suctioning the breathing tube in ICU patients causes more pain and stress compared to not suctioning.
-
Automated prediction of difficult intubation from face photos and short video
This project will test an AI tool that uses face photos and short videos taken at pre‑anesthesia visits to predict whether adults having elective general anesthesia will be difficult to intubate with three common videolaryngoscopes.
-
Comparing video and direct laryngoscopy for intubation by anesthesiology residents
This study tests whether using video laryngoscopy helps first-year anesthesiology residents do intubations more successfully and safely compared to the traditional direct method.
-
Comparing Airtraq for intubation in obese and non-obese men
This study is testing how well the Airtraq video laryngoscope works for intubating men with morbid obesity compared to non-obese men to see if it makes the process easier and faster.
-
Comparing two methods for intubation in patients with difficult airways
This study is testing whether a new flexible tip tool can help doctors successfully intubate patients with difficult airways on the first try, compared to a traditional method.
-
Improving safety and quality of tracheal intubation in pediatric ICUs
This study looks at how tracheal intubation is done in children's hospitals to see if there are safer and better ways to improve care for young patients.
NIH-funded research (8)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
IVOS Medical: Intubation, Optimized.
A small NIH-funded project aims to improve endotracheal intubation, a life-saving airway procedure, by making it safer and more reliable for adults in emergency and critical care settings.
-
Personalized Intubation Safety for Sick Neonates
A new approach helps doctors safely manage breathing tube placement in critically ill newborns, aiming to reduce complications and improve outcomes.
-
Pre-intubation checklist to make emergency breathing tube placement safer for injured children
Using a pre-intubation checklist and support tools to help emergency teams place breathing tubes more safely in children after traumatic injury.
-
Improved breathing tube placement
This project is creating a better video tool to help doctors place breathing tubes more quickly and safely for adults needing emergency or surgical airway care.
-
Safer breathing tube placement for newborns in the NICU
This project uses a personalized safety bundle to try to reduce complications when placing breathing tubes in critically ill newborns in neonatal intensive care units.
-
A new endotracheal tube with optical sensors to improve intubation safety
This study is testing a new type of breathing tube that has special sensors to help doctors place it correctly and keep an eye on it during procedures, making it safer for patients who need help breathing.
-
Improving the safety and effectiveness of emergency intubation procedures.
This study is looking at ways to make it easier and safer for doctors to use a special camera tool during emergency intubation, by creating a disposable cover that keeps the camera clean, so patients can have better care when they need it most.
-
Using bag-mask ventilation to prevent low oxygen levels during intubation in emergency situations.
This study is looking at how well using a bag-mask to help patients breathe can prevent low oxygen levels during intubation in the emergency room, and it's aimed at helping critically ill adults who need breathing support.
