In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This prospective trial aims to compare the effects of flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) and volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) on airway pressures and oxygenation in adult patients undergoing balloon dilatation under direct laryngoscopy. Airway procedures performed under general anesthesia are associated with unique respiratory mechanics and limited ventilation conditions, making the choice of an optimal ventilation strategy particularly important. Adult patients aged 18-65 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III will be allocated to receive either FCV or VCV during surgery. Ventilatory parameters, airway pressures, pulmonary compliance, and arterial blood gas values will be recorded at predefined intraoperative time points. The primary outcome is the PaO₂ measured 20 minutes under an FiO₂ of 0.8-1.0 after starting the ventilation under general anes
