New anesthesia method studied for safer lung surgeries
NCT ID NCT07085546
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined the effects of low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia on breathing mechanics and oxygen exchange in 50 adults undergoing lung surgery with one-lung ventilation. Researchers compared low-flow versus standard-flow anesthesia to see if it improves lung function and reduces oxygen needs after surgery. The goal is to gather information that could help make anesthesia safer for future patients.
