Recruiting studies
- NCT06386354Recruiting
Muscle Relaxant Recovery After Surgery
This study looks at whether the effects of muscle relaxants given during surgery still affect patients after they wake up, and if that leads to any complications. It may help doctors improve care for people who have general anesthesia with muscle relaxants.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Las PalmasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07119463RecruitingPhase 2
Albumin infusion to reduce complications after gastric cancer surgery
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a protein in the blood) during and after surgery can help prevent complications in people with stomach cancer. It is for those who have surgery to remove their tumor and have normal or near-normal blood albumin levels before surgery.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–80 - NCT07264179Recruiting
Tracheal cuff pressure and complications after surgery
This study will check if keeping the tube in your windpipe at a certain pressure during surgery can help prevent problems like hoarseness or a sore throat after your procedure.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande Do Sul (RS)Ages 18 years+ - NCT06916598Enrolling by invitation
Defining lung complications after surgery
This study aims to create a clear, agreed-upon definition for lung problems after surgery. It's not a treatment trial but a way to help doctors and patients better identify and grade these complications.
Wolverhampton, WolverhamptonAges 18 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 - NCT03307018Recruiting
Check if bronchoscopy after lung surgery prevents complications
This study looks at whether doing a brief breathing-tube exam (bronchoscopy) after specific lung surgery can lower the chance of lung complications. It may help improve recovery and reduce post-surgery breathing problems.
Poznan, WielkopolskaAges 18–89 - NCT07394816Recruiting
Can ultrasound-guided pain blocks reduce lung complications after abdominal surgery?
This study tests whether using ultrasound-guided pain blocks (fascial plane blocks) during major abdominal surgery can reduce lung complications after surgery, especially in older adults. It may offer better pain control and faster recovery.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 65 years+ - NCT07041021Recruiting
Fluid guidance during abdominal surgery using neck vein
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during abdominal surgery by using ultrasound to check the internal jugular vein in your neck. The goal is to see if this approach reduces complications after surgery.
Ismailia, Ismailia GovernorateAges 20–70 - NCT07646730Recruiting
Wearable Watch to Detect Complications After Lung Surgery
This study tests whether a wearable device (a smartwatch-like device) worn after lung or chest surgery can help doctors catch complications early by monitoring your heart rate, activity, and other vital signs. The goal is to catch problems sooner so you can get help faster.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06865040Recruiting
Inhaled treatment before lung cancer surgery to prevent lung complications
This trial tests whether giving an inhaled medication before lung cancer surgery helps prevent breathing problems after the operation. It is for people whose lung function is lower than normal, which puts them at higher risk for complications after surgery.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06404892Recruiting
Predicting Lung Problems After Chest Surgery
This study is looking at how well certain risk scores predict lung problems after chest surgery. It involves patients who will have surgery using one-lung breathing, and the goal is to learn which scores are most useful.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07258875Recruiting
Using ultrasound to guide fluids during lung surgery
This study tests if using a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) to guide fluid management during lung surgery can help reduce complications like lung problems or kidney injury. It may help doctors give you just the right amount of fluids.
Heraklion, CreteAges 18 years+ - NCT06396767Recruiting
Breathing test before heart surgery to predict lung problems
This study uses a simple breathing test before scheduled heart surgery to see if it can help predict breathing or lung complications after the operation. The results may help doctors identify patients who need extra support during recovery.
London, OntarioAges 19–99 - NCT07401173Recruiting
Computer tool to predict stomach cancer surgery complications
This trial uses a computer tool (DeepComp) to analyze your CT scan and predict possible complications after stomach cancer surgery. It may help doctors prepare for your recovery.
Shijiazhuang, None SelectedAges 18–85 - NCT06757023Recruiting
Acupuncture for better sleep after breast cancer surgery
This study tests if thumbtack needle therapy (a type of acupuncture) can improve sleep and recovery in women after breast cancer surgery. If you're between 18 and 55 and having breast cancer surgery with general anesthesia, you may be eligible.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–55 - NCT07729891Recruiting
Vital sign monitoring after urological surgery
This study tests a system that constantly watches your vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) after urological surgery, to catch problems early. It's for people who are not expected to need the Intensive Care Unit after their operation.
Parma, ParmaAges 18 years+ - NCT07109505Recruiting
Nutrition to support recovery after surgery for older adults
This study tests a special nutrition shake to help older adults recover after major hip, knee, or abdominal surgery. If you're 70 or older and having a planned surgery, drinking this shake might support your healing.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 70 years+ - NCT06133842Recruiting
Brain blood flow and confusion after surgery study
This trial looks at how well the brain controls its own blood flow during non-cardiac surgeries. It aims to see if problems with this regulation are linked to confusion after surgery (delirium).
Boston, MassachusettsAges 60 years+ - NCT06587906Recruiting
Complications after skull base tumor surgery
This study looks at how often problems happen after surgery to remove skull base tumors. It may help doctors better understand and reduce risks for future patients.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06269198Recruiting
Monitoring complications after cancer surgery
This trial tests a smart monitoring system to watch for complications after major cancer surgery. It may help doctors catch problems early so you can recover better.
Copenhagen, Other (Non US)Ages 18 years+ - NCT06430957Recruiting
Sleep apnea risk after dental surgery under general anesthesia
This study checks dental patients for the risk of sleep apnea before surgery and looks at whether that risk is linked to problems after general anesthesia. It may help you understand your own risk and improve safety.
KayseriAges 18–80 - NCT07227389Recruiting
Opioid Timing and Breathing Risk After Surgery
This study looks at when opioids are given during surgery and how it affects breathing problems after surgery. It might help understand how to make pain control safer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative complications?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 201 recruiting postoperative complications 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 postoperative complications 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 postoperative complications 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.
