ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION

This study looked at how brain activity (measured by EEG) changes when a breathing tube is placed and when a surgical cut is made during abdominal surgery. Researchers measured stress hormones at the same time to see if they are linked. 52 adults having open abdominal surgery too…

This study tested two devices used to place breathing tubes in adults having planned surgery. It compared a video laryngoscope (with a camera and tube guide) to the standard direct-view tool, focusing on how quickly and successfully new doctors could insert the tube. The goal was…

This study looked at 297 adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and were brought to the emergency room. Researchers wanted to see if placing a breathing tube before arriving at the hospital helped more people survive for 28 days and have better brain function. They …

This study looked at over 3,000 adults having surgery to find out which size of Macintosh blade (a tool used to guide a breathing tube into the windpipe) works best on the first try. The goal was to see which size leads to successful tube placement without complications like low …

This study looked at 600 COVID-19 patients with severe breathing problems who were treated with high-flow nasal oxygen and placed on their stomachs while awake. The goal was to see if this combination could reduce the need for breathing tubes and lower death rates. Researchers al…

This study looked at how different levels of muscle relaxation affect the ease of placing a breathing tube during surgery. Researchers tested 170 patients to find the best time to insert the tube. The goal was to improve the process and reduce patient discomfort.
