Scope-Guided tube swap may cut time without oxygen
NCT ID NCT07706309
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two methods for replacing an endotracheal tube (the tube that helps patients breathe) in preserved human body donors. One method uses a flexible scope to see inside the airway during the swap, while the other uses a catheter as a guide. The main goal is to see which method reduces the time a patient goes without ventilation. The study involves 80 procedures performed by four experienced doctors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If one method proves faster or safer, it could improve airway management during critical care procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small study using embalmed body donors, so results may not directly apply to living patients.
