Tracheal intubation

This study tests a combined approach for emergency breathing tube insertion in adults outside the hospital. The strategy includes a muscle relaxant (rocuronium), mask ventilation before intubation, and a special guide (gum elastic bougie). Researchers will compare complication ra…

This study compares two ways doctors place a breathing tube in children during surgery: using a video laryngoscope (camera) versus a direct laryngoscope (no camera). It aims to see which method leads to success on the first try, reducing risks like low oxygen or injury. About 5,5…

This trial compares two drugs—remifentanil (a strong painkiller) and rocuronium (a muscle relaxant)—for placing a breathing tube during surgery using a video laryngoscope. About 2,648 adults undergoing general anesthesia will be randomly assigned to one drug. The goal is to see w…

This trial compares three devices—SPHJ-II, a video lighted stylet, and a visual fiberscope—for placing a breathing tube in adults under general anesthesia. About 549 participants will be randomly assigned to one device to see which gives the highest first-attempt success rate. Th…

This study will follow 362 adults having planned surgery with a breathing tube to see what factors lead to throat pain, hoarseness, cough, or coughing up blood. Researchers will track tube pressure and other details to create a risk score. The goal is to better understand and pos…

This study observes 150 adults undergoing rapid sequence induction, a common emergency anesthesia technique. Researchers will use a special monitor (ANI) to measure pain levels during intubation, along with tracking complications like low oxygen or blood pressure. The goal is to …

This study looks at whether military medics with limited experience can use the SaCoVLM™ video laryngeal mask to manage airways and perform intubation. The research has two parts: first, training on a simulator, then using the device on sedated patients having elective surgery. T…
