Comparing two types of ventilation during laryngeal surgery

Comparison of Flow Controlled Ventilation and Volume Controlled Ventilation in Microscopic Laryngeal Surgeries, a Randomized Controlled Trial

Not applicable Interventional Kocaeli University · NCT06493162

This study tests whether a new way of breathing support during throat surgery can help patients with vocal cord problems breathe better and recover more effectively than the standard method.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial compares Flow Controlled Ventilation with Volume Controlled Ventilation in patients undergoing elective microscopic laser surgery for vocal cord diseases. Flow Controlled Ventilation allows for constant airflow during both inspiration and expiration, potentially improving lung function and patient outcomes. The study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of these ventilation methods in a controlled surgical setting. Patients will be monitored for respiratory parameters and overall surgical outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients scheduled for elective microscopic laser surgery with ASA status I and II.

Not a fit: Patients with chronic lung diseases, difficult intubation, or a BMI over 25 may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved ventilation strategies that enhance recovery and outcomes for patients undergoing laryngeal surgery.

How similar studies have performed: While there is ongoing research in ventilation techniques, this specific comparison of Flow Controlled and Volume Controlled Ventilation in this context is relatively novel.
