Low-Flow anesthesia: hidden germ danger?
NCT ID NCT07092046
First seen May 05, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looked at whether using very low gas flow during anesthesia (minimal flow) increases the chance of germs growing in the breathing equipment. Researchers took swabs from the equipment and patients' noses to compare germ levels between low-flow and normal-flow anesthesia. The goal was to see if the moisture buildup in low-flow anesthesia makes it less safe. 140 adults having elective surgery took part.
