A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of adjustable headrests on ventilation function in overweight and obese patients undergoing painless curettage surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a supine head-straight position, a supine head-lateral position, or an adjustable headrest. The primary focus is to observe the incidence of hypoxemia during the procedure across these different positioning methods. The goal is to determine if the adjustable headrest can enhance patient safety and comfort during surgery.
