New suction device aims to cut pneumonia risk in stroke patients
NCT ID NCT07647666
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a specially designed suction tube that cleans deep throat secretions under direct laryngoscope guidance. The goal is to see if it reduces pneumonia within 28 days in stroke patients who have trouble swallowing or coughing. Participants are adults with acute ischemic stroke and a low level of consciousness who do not already have a breathing tube.
