NCT ID NCT06817083
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new hand position called the 'hook technique' to see if it helps doctors give oxygen more effectively to obese patients (BMI 30-40) using one hand. 375 adults took part, and the researchers measured chest rise, oxygen levels, and other signs of good breathing. The goal was to find a simpler, more reliable way to ventilate patients during anesthesia.
