INTUBATION COMPLICATION

This study tested a small, biocompatible clip designed to be placed on the breathing tube used during surgery. The goal was to see if the clip could reduce pressure on the voice box and prevent common side effects like sore throat, hoarseness, and trouble swallowing after anesthe…

This study compared two different devices used to help patients breathe safely during gynecologic keyhole surgery. It tested a newer, softer laryngeal mask (I-gel) against the traditional breathing tube to see which was easier to use and caused fewer side effects like sore throat…

This study compared two medical tools used to place a special double-lumen breathing tube in patients having lung surgery. The goal was to see if using a video screen (videolaryngoscope) was better than the traditional direct-view method (direct laryngoscopy) at getting the tube …

This study aimed to find out which size of a curved metal blade (size 3 or 4) helps doctors most successfully insert a breathing tube on the first try during surgery. Researchers observed over 3,000 adult patients in French operating rooms to see which blade led to fewer complica…

This study compared two common laryngoscope blades used to help place breathing tubes in adult patients. Doctors tested both the standard Macintosh blade and the Miller blade on the same patients during surgery to see which one gave a better view of the airway. The goal was to ga…

This study tested if adding a bendable guide wire (called a stylet) inside a breathing tube helps doctors place it correctly on the first try in critically ill adults. It involved over 1,000 patients in intensive care units who needed help breathing. The goal was to see if this c…

This study evaluated a hospital's standard procedure for placing breathing tubes in newborns. Researchers monitored 50 infants during intubation to see if providing gentle air pressure through the nose helped complete the procedure safely on the first try. The goal was to check t…
