Recruiting studies
- NCT07730034Recruiting
Early physical therapy after heart surgery to prevent breathing problems
This trial tests whether starting physical therapy soon after planned heart surgery can help prevent breathing complications. It is for adults who are having a first-time coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and meet specific health criteria.
ZagrebAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT07610824Recruiting
Lung Pressure and Recovery After Robot-Assisted Prostate Surgery
This study measures breathing pressure during robot-assisted prostate removal surgery and checks lung function after surgery using ultrasound. It aims to understand how surgery affects your lungs and recovery.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT07464730Recruiting
High-flow nasal oxygen after high-risk surgery for frail adults
This trial tests whether using high-flow nasal oxygen after surgery helps frail patients recover better and avoid breathing problems. It includes people having long abdominal, vascular, or chest surgeries who have several health risks like older age, low oxygen levels, or heart or lung conditions.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06703814Recruiting
Protective breathing support during robot surgery
This trial tests a special way of breathing support during robot-assisted surgery to protect your lungs. It's for people who are at higher risk of lung problems after surgery.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT07024420Recruiting
Sigh breathing during heart surgery with heart-lung machine
This study tests if adding occasional deep breaths (sighs) during heart surgery helps patients recover better after using the heart-lung machine. It is for people having planned (not emergency) heart surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07170514Recruiting
Comparing two methods to set breathing support during gynecologic laparoscopy
This study is for women having laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. It tests two different ways to set the breathing machine's pressure during surgery to see which works better.
Budapest, BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT07207772Recruiting
Electric lung imaging vs. standard breathing support in weight-loss surgery
This study compares two ways of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery: one guided by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and the other by standard care. The goal is to see which one helps your lungs work better during and after surgery.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–65 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06239831Recruiting
Monitoring breathing and activity after belly surgery
This study uses a wearable device to monitor your breathing and activity after abdominal surgery. It may help doctors catch early signs of lung problems so you can get help sooner.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–90 - NCT06304779Recruiting
Lidocaine for infection after emergency abdominal surgery
This trial tests if giving lidocaine continuously during and after emergency surgery for a hole or blockage in the gut can reduce lung problems and improve recovery. It may help patients with a serious belly infection who need quick surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT06101511Recruiting
Breathing tube pressure for safer abdominal surgery
This trial is testing if using less air pressure from the breathing machine during abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications. If you are at higher risk for breathing problems after surgery, this study may help find a safer way to manage your breathing during the operation.
Amsterdam, NoordhollandAges 18–100

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative pulmonary complications (ppcs)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 16 recruiting postoperative pulmonary complications (ppcs) 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 pulmonary complications (ppcs) 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 pulmonary complications (ppcs) 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.
