Can a simple oxygen trick prevent dangerous drops during intubation?
NCT ID NCT07189338
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen through the nose during the brief pause between stopping a breathing mask and placing a breathing tube can prevent severe drops in oxygen levels. About 500 ICU patients with low oxygen due to lung failure will be randomly assigned to receive this extra oxygen or standard care. The goal is to see if the extra oxygen reduces the risk of oxygen levels falling below 80% during the procedure.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) during intubation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could make intubation safer for critically ill patients by preventing dangerously low oxygen levels.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage procedure trial with no phase, and the benefit may be small or not apply to all patients. Risks include device-related complications.
Conditions
The condition(s) this trial relates to.
As listed by the trial registrant
