Massive study aims to make emergency intubations safer
NCT ID NCT07574450
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will collect information on 1,200 emergency intubations across multiple hospitals in Taiwan. Researchers will track how often the tube is placed correctly on the first try and how often serious problems like low oxygen, low blood pressure, or cardiac arrest occur. The goal is to find patterns that can help doctors improve safety during this high-risk procedure.
