NCT ID NCT07092046
First seen May 05, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study checked if using less gas during anesthesia (minimal flow) leads to more germs in the breathing equipment. 140 adults having elective surgery were tested. Researchers took swabs from patients' noses and the anesthesia circuit to see if bacteria grew. The goal was to see if this common, eco-friendly technique is safe from an infection standpoint.
