NCT ID NCT07148024
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This completed study looked at 76 people having heart bypass surgery. It tested two different ways of managing the pressure in the breathing tube during the procedure to see if it affected swelling in the airway. The goal was to find a safer pressure level to reduce complications.
