Breathing aid tested for overweight patients in lung cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT04583046
Summary
This study tested whether a drug called iloprost, given as an inhaled mist, could help maintain better oxygen levels in the blood of obese patients during a specific type of lung surgery. During this surgery, called one-lung ventilation, patients breathe with only one lung, which can sometimes cause low oxygen levels. The researchers measured blood oxygen and lung function in 78 patients to see if iloprost made a difference.
