Which ventilation method keeps elderly brains better oxygenated during surgery?

NCT ID NCT07582913

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at two methods of helping elderly patients breathe during the start of anesthesia: manual ventilation by a doctor and mechanical ventilation using a machine. Researchers will measure oxygen levels in the brain and body to see which method works better. The goal is to improve safety for older patients undergoing surgery.

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 study could help anesthesiologists choose the best ventilation method to maintain oxygen levels in elderly patients during surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study focused on oxygen levels, not on preventing complications or improving long-term outcomes. Results may not apply to all elderly patients.
