Surgery breathing tube study: does deflating or inflating prevent fluid in lungs?
NCT ID NCT06990308
Summary
This study aims to find out which method of removing a breathing tube after surgery is better at keeping fluids from entering the airway. Researchers will randomly assign 88 healthy adults having scheduled surgery to have their tube removed with its cuff either deflated (standard method) or inflated. They will use a special dye to check if any fluid enters the windpipe or lungs and will monitor patients for symptoms like sore throat afterward.
