Breathing machine settings may change kidney stone surgery success

NCT ID NCT07304297

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 70 adults having kidney stone surgery to see if the amount of air given by the breathing machine (tidal volume) affects how the surgery goes. Researchers compared low versus standard tidal volume settings to see if they changed surgery time, stone removal rates, or complications. The goal is to find the best breathing settings for better surgical outcomes.
