Which ventilation method works best during robotic prostate surgery?
NCT ID NCT07453810
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 50 men having robot-assisted prostate surgery to compare two ways of using a breathing machine: flow-controlled and volume-controlled ventilation. The goal was to see which method keeps oxygen levels better and helps the lungs work more smoothly. Researchers used a special imaging tool to guide settings for each patient.
