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 - NCT04164173Recruiting
Breathing therapies after heart surgery for lung overinflation
This study looks at breathing (respiratory) therapies to help after certain heart surgeries that can cause the lungs to feel overly inflated. If you’re eligible, you may receive and be assessed for how well these breathing treatments work during your recovery.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06814951Recruiting
Breathing & movement technique after heart bypass surgery
This study tests a special breathing and movement technique called the Thoraco-abdominal Rebalance Method to see if it helps people recover faster after heart bypass surgery.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 35 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 - NCT03945968Recruiting
Risk scores after abdominal surgery for people with health conditions
This study looks at how other health problems affect the chance of postoperative complications after abdominal surgery. It aims to help doctors better predict risk and decide on the safest care for you.
ArkhangelskAges 18 years+ - NCT07519733Recruiting
Exercise Testing Before High-Risk Surgery
This study tests whether a simple exercise test before surgery can help doctors better predict and prevent complications in older adults undergoing major operations. You'll do a gentle exercise test on a stationary bike or treadmill to measure your fitness level.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 45 years+ - NCT07461779RecruitingPhase 4
Oxygen to the healthy lung during lung surgery
This study is testing whether giving extra oxygen to the lung that is not being operated on (the non-dependent lung) during surgery can reduce problems after lung surgery. If you are having lung surgery, this might help you recover better.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT05479825Recruiting
Lung surgery planning without a tube, using X-ray guidance
This trial looks at a new way to plan a minimally invasive lung segment removal (“segmentectomy”) using live X-ray guidance, without using a chest tube (“tubeless”). It may help patients with certain small lung lesions (sometimes early lung cancer) get the surgery more precisely.
Jinan, Other (Non U.s.)Ages 18–85 - 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 - NCT06351475Recruiting
Albumin during surgery for advanced cancer in the abdomen
This trial tests whether adding a protein called albumin to standard fluids given during surgery helps patients with advanced cancer in the abdomen (from the ovaries, uterus, or digestive system) recover better. You would receive either the usual fluids or fluids plus albumin during your operation.
MontpellierAges 18–80 - NCT07332806Recruiting
When to remove the breathing tube after robot surgery
This study looks at whether removing the breathing tube in the operating room versus the recovery room affects how quickly the operating room is ready for the next surgery. If you are having robot-assisted surgery with general anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07461467Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative pulmonary complications?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 49 recruiting postoperative pulmonary 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 pulmonary 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 pulmonary 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.
