New study aims to predict breathing emergencies in throat surgery
NCT ID NCT06925282
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study observes 80 adults undergoing airway surgery with a special oxygen technique called THRIVE. Researchers will record when oxygen levels drop low enough to require rescue ventilation. The goal is to find factors that predict this event, helping anesthesiologists plan safer surgeries.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients might need emergency breathing support during airway surgery, improving safety.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study, not testing a new treatment. It may not identify clear predictors, and results may not apply to all patients.

Who is studied
Adult patients scheduled to undergo elective airway surgery under general anesthesia with THRIVE at a single tertiary academic hospital. A total of 80 patients will be prospectively enrolled. All participants will receive standard anesthetic care, and data will be collected during the intraoperative period for analysis of factors associated with the requirement for rescue ventilation.
