NCT ID NCT05690633

First seen May 15, 2026 ยท Last updated May 15, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether oxygen levels can be accurately measured from the throat using a standard probe attached to an oral airway or tongue blade. Researchers compared these readings to those from finger sensors and blood tests in 100 patients undergoing surgery with general anesthesia. The goal was to see if this method could be a reliable alternative when traditional sensors are not usable.
