Breathing Tube-Free anesthesia could speed kidney transplant recovery

NCT ID NCT07377123

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

Summary

This study compares a new 'tubeless' anesthesia method (using a laryngeal mask and lighter sedation) to standard breathing-tube anesthesia in 60 kidney transplant patients. The goal is to see if it reduces the need for muscle relaxants and other drugs, and improves recovery. Participants will be followed for life to track long-term outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Tubeless spontaneous ventilation anesthesia (a procedure using laryngeal mask and specific drugs like propofol, remifentanil, cisatracurium)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a safer, faster-recovering anesthesia method for kidney transplant patients, reducing side effects from muscle relaxants.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial (60 people) at one center. The procedure may not be safer or more effective than standard anesthesia, and risks like breathing problems or inadequate anesthesia depth exist.
