Comparing two breathing devices for ECT in obese patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods to help you breathe during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT, a treatment for depression and other mental health conditions). One method uses a tube placed in the airway, the other uses a mask with high-flow oxygen. The study aims to see which approach is safer and works better for people with a BMI of 30 or higher.
