NCT ID NCT06838260
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether warming or cooling the breathing tube before placing it in children having tonsil surgery could reduce serious breathing complications like throat spasms or drops in oxygen. Researchers compared two groups of children to see if tube temperature made a difference. The goal was to find a simple way to make surgery safer for kids.
