First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether using a laryngeal mask with a special bronchial blocker causes less sore throat and hoarseness after lung surgery compared to the standard double-lumen tube. 270 adults having lung surgery took part. The goal was to see which device leads to fewer throat injuries in the first 24 hours after surgery.
