Mayo clinic study finds optimal moment for placing breathing tubes
NCT ID NCT05620108
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study from Mayo Clinic looked at 170 patients having elective surgery to find the best time to insert a breathing tube. Researchers compared intubating right after a muscle relaxant (standard care) versus waiting until a nerve monitor showed a specific level of relaxation. The goal was to see which timing made tube placement easier and safer.
