NCT ID NCT06990308

First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study looks at two common ways to remove a breathing tube after surgery: deflating the cuff first or keeping it inflated. The goal is to see which method better prevents fluids from entering the windpipe or lungs. About 88 healthy adults having non-airway surgery will take part, and a chest X-ray will check for any fluid leakage.
