Patients hold their own oxygen mask in new anesthesia study
NCT ID NCT06361693
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether patients getting ready for surgery can effectively preoxygenate themselves by holding the oxygen mask. 110 adults scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia took part. The main goal was to see how many could reach a high oxygen level within 3 minutes using this self-hold method.

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 could show that letting patients hold their own oxygen mask before surgery is effective and may reduce anxiety.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed observational study, not a large trial. Results may not apply to all patients, especially those with breathing problems or obesity.
