New treatment option for Difficult Mask Ventilation
Official title Tulip Airway in Difficult Mask Ventilation (TADMV)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07204223
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- During surgery, right after anesthesia is given, the first step to help the patient breathe is to provide breathing support with a mask. This step is very important because if there is a problem with mask ventilation, the anesthesia team must quickly use other methods to help the patient breathe.
