Perioperative High-flow Nasal Oxygen in Patients Undergoing Robotic Surgery (NCT07591610)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The aim of the study is to assess whether perioperative use of high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) during the period from induction of anesthesia until discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit in patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgery reduces perioperative oxygen desaturation and postoperative pulmonary complications.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (2 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (6 items).
