Esketamine for safer throat-tube removal in thyroid surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medicine called esketamine can make the removal of the breathing tube from the throat smoother and less likely to cause coughing during recovery from thyroid surgery done through the mouth. It may help you wake up more comfortably after your operation.
