INTUBATION COMPLICATION

This study compared two techniques for placing a special double-lumen breathing tube in patients undergoing lung surgery. Researchers tested whether using a video laryngoscope (which shows the airway on a screen) was more successful on the first try than the traditional direct la…

This study tested a small, simple clip designed to reduce throat problems after surgery. It was tested on 100 patients who needed a breathing tube for their operation. The goal was to see if the clip, by taking pressure off the voice box, could prevent common issues like sore thr…

This study compared two different devices used to help patients breathe safely during gynecologic keyhole surgery. It tested a newer, softer laryngeal mask (I-gel) against the traditional breathing tube to see which was easier to use and caused fewer side effects like sore throat…

This study tested if adding a bendable guide wire (called a stylet) inside a breathing tube helps doctors place it correctly on the first try in critically ill adults. It involved over 1,000 patients in intensive care units who needed help breathing. The goal was to see if this c…

This study evaluated a hospital's standard procedure for placing breathing tubes in newborns. Researchers monitored 50 infants during intubation to see if providing gentle air pressure through the nose helped complete the procedure safely on the first try. The goal was to check t…

This study aimed to find out which of two common medical tools gives doctors a better view when placing a breathing tube in adults. Researchers tested both the standard Macintosh blade and the Miller blade on over 1,100 patients during elective surgery. The goal was to gather kno…

This study aimed to find out if using a slightly smaller curved blade helps doctors insert a breathing tube more successfully on the first try during surgery. Researchers observed over 3,000 adult patients in operating rooms across France to see which blade size led to fewer atte…
