NCT ID NCT06493162

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study tested two ways of helping patients breathe during microscopic throat surgery. One method uses a steady airflow, while the other uses a set volume of air. The goal was to see which method keeps airway pressure lower and safer. 68 adults having elective laser surgery on their vocal cords took part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If flow-controlled ventilation proves better, it could lead to safer breathing support during delicate throat surgeries.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 68 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or surgeries.
