Recruiting studies
- NCT06770179Enrolling by invitation
Lung breathing maneuver for kids during surgery
This study tests a special breathing maneuver (ultrasound-guided lung recruitment) during surgery to see if it helps prevent small areas of lung collapse in children. It may help kids with longer surgeries keep their lungs open and working better afterward.
IstanbulAges 1–14 - NCT06181279Recruiting
Custom breathing machine settings for severe obesity
This trial is testing a personalized way to set the pressure in a breathing machine during surgery. The goal is to prevent lung collapse after surgery in patients with severe obesity.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–60 - NCT06824506Recruiting
Ultrasound for lung issues after low-flow anesthesia
This trial tests if using ultrasound to check the lungs during low-flow anesthesia can help prevent breathing problems after gallbladder surgery. It may help doctors spot lung issues earlier and adjust care.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07325812Recruiting
Lung opening maneuvers during spine surgery
This study tests whether periodic lung opening maneuvers during back surgery can reduce lung collapse and improve breathing mechanics. Doctors will use ultrasound to monitor your lungs.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07451405Recruiting
Using OLE therapy for lung expansion in ventilated patients with collapsed lungs
This trial tests a breathing treatment called Oscillation and Lung Expansion (OLE) therapy. It is for people on a breathing machine who have a collapsed area in the lung (atelectasis) and a lot of phlegm. The goal is to help open the lungs and clear mucus more easily.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06296173Recruiting
Lung-protective breathing tube removal after surgery
This study tests a special breathing tube removal method during surgery recovery to protect your lungs. It may help you breathe better after your abdominal surgery.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07550738Recruiting
Breathing machine settings during laparoscopic cancer surgery
This study compares two different ways of controlling breathing machines during laparoscopic (minimally invasive) abdominal cancer surgery. Researchers want to see which method keeps your heart and blood flow stable and protects your lungs during surgery.
AsyutAges 20–80 - NCT05906030Recruiting
Ultrasound to study diaphragm function around surgery
This trial uses ultrasound (a non-painful scanning method) to measure how well the diaphragm works around the time of surgery. It aims to learn whether diaphragm changes during surgery relate to breathing problems, especially in people undergoing abdominal, pelvic, or vascular operations.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18–100 - NCT06538376Recruiting
New portable chest X-ray for ICU patients
This study tests a new portable chest X-ray that can be used in the ICU to check for problems like fluid in the lungs, trouble breathing, or swallowing issues. It is designed to help doctors see these problems more easily without moving you to the radiology department.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06611527Recruiting
Breathing therapy to improve lung function after heart surgery
This study tests a breathing treatment using mild air pressure after heart surgery to help your lungs work better and reduce complications. It may be an option for people at higher risk for lung problems or those with early breathing issues after surgery.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06662630Recruiting
Oscillatory ventilation study for ICU patients on breathing machines
This study tests a new breathing method (high-frequency oscillatory ventilation) for patients in the ICU who need a breathing tube. It looks at how safe it is and how it affects the body, and is for people with certain lung problems like ARDS or collapsed lungs.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–90 - NCT06702813Recruiting
High-frequency vibration breathing treatment for ICU patients
This trial tests a device called MetaNeb that delivers high-frequency vibrations to help clear mucus and open collapsed air sacs in the lungs. It is designed for patients in the ICU who are awake, alert, and have trouble breathing or need extra oxygen.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1.5 years–80 years - NCT07100860Recruiting
Lung surgery study: how breathing tube time affects recovery
This study checks if the length of time one lung is ventilated (breathing for you) during chest surgery affects your risk of lung complications after surgery. It may help doctors plan safer surgeries.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–85 - NCT07186933Recruiting
Ventilator settings to protect lungs during high-risk surgery
This study compares two ways of setting the ventilator during surgery to reduce lung complications. Researchers will test whether using a lower 'driving pressure' (a setting on the breathing machine) helps protect the lungs better than usual care. It is for adults having high-risk surgeries under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
PátraiAges 18 years+ - NCT07211529Recruiting
Nerve block during chest surgery to reduce complications
This trial tests whether a numbing injection near the spine (paravertebral block) given during keyhole chest surgery can lower the risk of problems after surgery. It might help patients recover more comfortably.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07349784Recruiting
Automated lung opening steps during laparoscopic surgery
This trial tests a computer-controlled method to open collapsed lung parts during laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to improve breathing and reduce complications after surgery.
Istanbul, BakırkoyAges 18–80 - NCT07362680Recruiting
Ultrasound lung openings to prevent breathing problems after hysterectomy
This trial tests if using ultrasound-guided lung opening maneuvers during surgery can reduce lung complications after a total laparoscopic hysterectomy in patients with sleep apnea. It may help you if you have obesity and sleep apnea.
Xinxiang, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07432477Recruiting
Lung opening techniques after heart surgery
This trial compares two methods of opening the lungs (recruitment maneuvers) after heart-lung bypass to see which works better. The study aims to help patients recover their lung function more quickly after cardiac surgery.
Samsun, AtakumAges 18–80 - NCT07662642Recruiting
Timing of lung inflation during robotic prostate surgery
This trial compares two different timings of a lung inflation maneuver during robotic prostate surgery to see which approach helps patients breathe better after surgery.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07239557Enrolling by invitation
Best timing for lung expansion moves during surgery
This trial tests different time intervals for a lung-opening technique (alveolar recruitment) during planned abdominal surgery, aiming to restore 90% of lung volume. It may help lower the risk of lung complications after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 65–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for atelectasis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 20 recruiting atelectasis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a atelectasis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a atelectasis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
