New study aims to make anesthesia safer for obese patients
NCT ID NCT07380425
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested three different breathing techniques before anesthesia in 75 obese patients to see which one raises oxygen levels fastest and safest. The researchers measured how quickly oxygen reached a safe level in the lungs and checked if the techniques caused stomach bloating, which could lead to complications. The goal is to find the best method to prevent low oxygen during surgery.
