This study looked at how different levels of muscle relaxants affect the ease of placing a breathing tube in patients during surgery. Researchers measured how well doctors could see the vocal cords, the position of the cords, and the patient's reaction to the tube. The goal was t…

This study looked at over 3,000 adults having surgery to see which size of Macintosh blade (a tool used to help place a breathing tube) works best on the first try. The goal was to find the most effective blade size to reduce complications like low oxygen or low blood pressure. R…

This study examined 297 adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and were treated by emergency services. Researchers wanted to see if placing a breathing tube before reaching the hospital affected survival at 28 days and brain function. The study also looked at other …

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 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 tested whether a bougie (a flexible tool) or a stylet (a rigid tool) helps beginner doctors place a breathing tube more successfully on the first try. 136 sixth-year medical students practiced on a manikin after training. The study measured first-attempt success and ho…
