First seen Nov 03, 2025 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tested whether giving warm, moist oxygen at a high flow rate through a tracheostomy tube can prevent lung complications (like pneumonia or collapsed lungs) after major head and neck surgery. 56 adults who had surgery with a tracheostomy were randomly assigned to receive either this high-flow oxygen or standard cool-mist oxygen. The goal was to see which method better prevents breathing problems after surgery.
