Aspiration

Researchers compare two ways of clearing secretions from the mouth and windpipe in patients on breathing machines. One routine adds subglottic suctioning in a specific sequence; the other uses standard oral suction and mouth care. The trial measures a marker of fluid leaking into…

This trial tests whether teaching mothers how to perform aspiration care for their children in the intensive care unit can lower their anxiety and hopelessness. Researchers will compare two teaching methods: a video and a picture booklet. The study includes mothers whose children…

This study tested whether training with virtual reality and haptic gloves could improve how intensive care nurses perform a procedure called aspiration (suctioning a patient's airway). 60 nurses were split into two groups: one used VR with haptic gloves, the other used standard m…

This completed study from Turkey tested whether a closed suction system (a catheter that stays inside the breathing tube) causes less change in blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels, and less pain, compared to usual care. The study included 67 adults on mechani…

This study looked at 1000 patients who needed extra tools to place a breathing tube during surgery. Researchers wanted to see if these patients had a higher chance of lung problems like pneumonia afterward. The goal was to better understand risks and improve patient safety.

This study looked at whether giving metoclopramide before a planned C-section actually lowers stomach fluid, which is meant to prevent rare but serious aspiration during anesthesia. Researchers compared stomach volumes using ultrasound in 72 healthy women who received either the …
