New oxygen trick keeps kids safer under anesthesia during tonsil removal
NCT ID NCT06742476
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving oxygen through a small tube in the nose during anesthesia can prevent dangerously low oxygen levels in children having their tonsils and adenoids removed. 140 children aged 3-10 took part. The goal was to see if this simple technique helps keep oxygen levels stable while the child is not breathing on their own.
