Summary

This completed study with 140 adults looked at whether warming a breathing tube before inserting it through the nose reduces bleeding and makes the procedure easier. Doctors used a video scope and a cuff inflation technique to guide the tube. The goal was to find the best way to minimize nose and throat injuries during intubation.
