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 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.
