NCT ID NCT03136549
First seen Jan 29, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study tested two techniques to make nasal intubation (placing a breathing tube through the nose) safer and less likely to cause nosebleeds. Researchers compared softening the tube with warm water versus inflating its cuff with air, using a video scope to guide placement. 140 adults having elective surgery participated. The goal was to see which method reduced bleeding and made tube navigation easier.
