New breathing tube technique may reduce Post-Surgery oxygen dips
NCT ID NCT05295095
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed trial tested whether using positive pressure while removing the breathing tube (extubation) can prevent low oxygen levels after abdominal surgery. 264 adults undergoing scheduled visceral or urological surgery were randomly assigned to standard extubation or one of two positive pressure techniques. The main goal was to see if positive pressure reduces oxygen drops below 92% during and after the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
positive pressure during extubation procedure
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a simple change in how patients are taken off the breathing tube after surgery, reducing complications like low oxygen levels.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study with a moderate number of participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals or patient types. The technique may not show a meaningful benefit over standard care.
