What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early

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.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

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.
