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.
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 this study finds a link, it could help surgeons choose better breathing settings during kidney stone surgery to improve outcomes and reduce complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. The results may not apply to all patients or settings, and it only looks at correlation, not cause.
