  Recruiting Lady Reading Hospital, Pakistan · Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa · NCT07192081

• 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.

  Recruiting Tanta University · Tanta, El-Gharbia · NCT07165483

• 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.

  Recruiting American University of Beirut Medical Center · Beirut · NCT06815952

• 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.

  Recruiting Cairo University · Cairo · NCT06776900

• 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.

  Recruiting at 17 sites University College Dublin · Rijeka and 16 other locations · NCT06757543

• 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.

  Recruiting Loma Linda University · Loma Linda, California · NCT06692400

• 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.

  Recruiting Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois · Lausanne · NCT06453525

• 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.

  Recruiting University Hospital Heidelberg · Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg · NCT06360328

• 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.

  Recruiting Kocaeli University · Iamit and 1 other locations · NCT05927519

• 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.

  Recruiting Hospital Clinico Universitario de Santiago · Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña · NCT05429125

• 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.
