NCT ID NCT06361693
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether patients getting ready for surgery can effectively preoxygenate themselves by holding the oxygen mask. 110 adults scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia took part. The main goal was to see how many could reach a high oxygen level within 3 minutes using this self-hold method.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that letting patients hold their own oxygen mask before surgery is effective and may reduce anxiety.
What could go wrong
