NCT ID NCT07318766
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether using an incentive spirometer—a device that encourages slow, deep breathing—can improve blood oxygen levels and recovery in people who just had a liver transplant. Forty adults between 18 and 65 years old took part. The goal was to see if this simple breathing exercise could help them get out of the hospital sooner.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Incentive spirometer (a device that encourages slow, deep breathing)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to help liver transplant patients breathe better and recover faster after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is used alongside standard care, so any benefit may be modest.
