NCT ID NCT05930678

First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looked at 725 severely obese adults (BMI 35 or higher) to find the safest way to place a breathing tube during surgery. Researchers compared two methods: one where patients received face mask ventilation during the procedure and one where they did not. The goal was to see which approach caused fewer complications like low oxygen levels or low blood pressure. Results will help standardize care and improve patient safety.
