About This Trial
General anesthesia with endotracheal intubation bypasses the physiological warming and humidification functions of the upper airway, allowing cold and dry gases to reach the lower respiratory tract. This may impair mucociliary clearance, increase secretion viscosity, promote atelectasis, and contribute to postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs).
