Healthy volunteers test new breathing devices to see how flow changes lung function
NCT ID NCT06228703
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two new high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) devices on 26 healthy adults to see how different airflow settings affect lung aeration. Participants wore the devices at various flow rates while their lung volume and comfort were measured. The goal was to understand how these settings influence breathing, not to treat any disease.
