NCT ID NCT05881863

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study observes oxygen levels in the airway during rigid bronchoscopy, a procedure to treat blocked airways. Researchers will measure how long it takes for oxygen to drop to a safe level when using a special ventilator mode. The goal is to reduce the risk of airway fires during heat-based treatments. 50 adults undergoing this procedure will participate.
