Can changing how patients breathe make kidney stone surgery safer?
NCT ID NCT07705646
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests four different breathing strategies during kidney stone surgery to see if reducing kidney motion helps surgeons remove stones more completely and lowers the risk of complications. Eighty adults undergoing the procedure will be randomly assigned to standard ventilation, low-rate breathing, brief pauses in breathing, or one-lung ventilation. The study measures how much the kidney moves and compares surgical success and safety across the groups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- four ventilation strategies: standard ventilation, hypoventilation, intermittent apnea ventilation, and one-lung ventilation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify a ventilation method that makes kidney stone surgery safer and more effective by reducing kidney movement.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with 80 patients, so results may not apply to all patients. Some ventilation methods carry risks like low oxygen levels or lung injury.
