NCT ID NCT06791317
First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study looked at whether using a checklist before placing a breathing tube in intensive care unit (ICU) patients reduces complications. Researchers reviewed records of 60 critically ill adults who needed a breathing tube, comparing those treated before and after the checklist was introduced. The checklist covers areas like patient preparation, equipment, team roles, and backup plans. The goal is to see if it lowers the chance of dangerously low oxygen or blood pressure during the procedure.
