LyonAges 18–70 - NCT06909227Recruiting
Testing lactate levels to predict complications after infant surgery
This study checks whether measuring lactate (a substance made by muscles during stress or low oxygen) in a vein right after surgery can help doctors predict complications in babies less than 1 year old. It focuses on infants who need general anesthesia for non-cardiac surgeries inside the hospital.
ParisAges birth–1 year - NCT06702059Recruiting
Heart exercise test for bypass surgery patients
This trial uses a special exercise test to measure heart and lung function in people scheduled for coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help doctors understand how well patients recover after surgery.
Brno, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT05491434Recruiting
Study of muscle loss in colon cancer patients
This trial looks at muscle loss (called sarcopenia) in people with colon cancer to test an intervention that may help strength or recovery. If you’re age 70 or older and meet the cancer and health requirements, you may be able to take part.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 70 years+ - NCT07040683Recruiting
Vacuum dressing for skin grafts on lower leg
This study compares standard wound care to a special vacuum dressing (negative pressure therapy) after skin graft surgery on the lower leg for skin cancer. The goal is to see if the vacuum dressing helps the graft heal better.
MalmöAges 18 years+ - NCT07022314Recruiting
Monitoring urine output in cardiac ICU patients
This trial tests a new device that tracks urine output after heart surgery to see how the body responds to fluids and diuretics. It may help doctors manage your recovery more closely.
Petah TikvaAges 18 years+ - NCT07018856Recruiting
Can beginners detect collapsed lung after heart surgery via ultrasound?
This trial tests whether a beginner (like a nurse or trainee) can use an ultrasound to safely detect a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) after heart surgery when the chest tubes are removed. It could make care faster and safer for you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07007494Recruiting
Early outcomes and nutrition after weight loss surgery

Istanbul, Merkez MahallesiAges 18–65 - NCT06952387Recruiting
Personalized blood pressure for high-risk surgery patients
This study tests whether personalized blood pressure management during and after major surgery can reduce complications and death in older adults with heart or blood vessel risks. It aims to find the safest blood pressure targets for each patient.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 65–90 - NCT06864819Recruiting
Alcohol blood test and surgery recovery study
This study looks at a blood test called phosphatidylethanol (PEth) to see if it can help predict how well you recover after surgery. It is for people who drink alcohol regularly and are having elective surgery with a longer hospital stay or ICU stay at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21–79 - NCT06820736Recruiting

Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–70 - NCT04209218Recruiting
Blood pressure and dexamethasone during lung cancer surgery
This study looks at how best to manage blood pressure during lung cancer surgery and whether giving dexamethasone (a steroid medicine) helps patients during the operation and recovery. You might benefit if you’re having longer lung cancer surgery and your heart and other organs are stable enough for the study.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–90 - NCT06289699Recruiting
Study on vital sign alert system satisfaction across hospitals
This trial tests how often a wireless vital sign monitoring system gives alerts to nurses, and checks if patients and nurses are happy with it. The goal is to see if the system works well in different hospitals and cultures.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative complications?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 198 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.
