New breathing technique tested in throat surgery – but no cure yet
NCT ID NCT07639398
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two ways to help patients breathe during throat surgery: a newer method called flow-controlled ventilation and a standard method. Researchers measured how well each method worked in 71 adults having elective throat surgery. The goal was to see if the newer method might be better or safer, but this was only an observation, not a test of a new treatment.
