Spinal vs general anesthesia for hip fracture surgery in older adults
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (awake, lower body numb) versus general (completely asleep)—for people 65 and older having hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see which is better for preventing lung complications after surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 65 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07192575Recruiting
Preventing lung problems after laparoscopic liver surgery
This trial tests if special breathing exercises before surgery can help prevent lung complications after laparoscopic (keyhole) liver surgery. It may benefit you by reducing your risk of pneumonia or other breathing issues after the procedure.
KuopioAges 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 - 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+ - NCT06166706Recruiting
Ventilation methods in children during anesthesia
This study looks at how children are ventilated (helped to breathe) during surgery. It will help doctors understand current practices and improve care for young patients.
PerthAges Up to 16 years - NCT06608849Recruiting
Long-term health effects after COVID-19
This study looks at how COVID-19 may affect the lungs, heart, and kidneys in the months or years after the infection. It compares three groups: people who never had COVID, people who had COVID but recovered without organ problems, and people who had organ problems during COVID. The goal is to understand what long-term complications might arise.
AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT05789953Recruiting
Machine-learning plan to prevent lung complications after surgery
This trial tests a computer-based (machine-learning) approach to help prevent lung problems after elective surgery done under general anesthesia. It may help by identifying higher-risk patients and guiding care to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications.
UlmAges 18 years+ - NCT07208500Recruiting
Arm cuff treatment before surgery to protect lungs in older adults
This study tests if a simple, non-invasive treatment (briefly inflating a blood pressure cuff on your arm) before surgery can reduce lung complications in older adults having non-heart, non-lung surgery. It may help protect your lungs during and after the operation.
ShanghaiAges 65 years+ - NCT06513416Recruiting
Gut bacteria and lung problems after surgery in older adults
This study tests whether the bacteria in your gut are linked to lung complications after a long abdominal surgery. If you are 65 or older and having a scheduled upper abdominal surgery, researchers want to understand how your microbiome affects your recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT05526534Recruiting
Breathing treatment to prevent lung problems after gynecologic surgery
This trial studies whether a breathing support therapy given after surgery can reduce the chance of lung complications. It focuses on people having gynecologic tumor surgery who are at higher risk for breathing or lung problems.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–90 - 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+ - NCT05971810Recruiting
Oral cleaning and nutrition support around surgery for older adults
This trial studies whether cleaning the mouth before and after major surgery, plus special nutrition support, can lower the risk of breathing complications in older adults. It may help patients who are at higher risk for lung problems around the time of general anesthesia.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 65 years+ - NCT07729319Recruiting
Heat and moisture during lung surgery: a study
This study looks at whether a special device that adds heat and moisture to the air you breathe during surgery can help people who have lung surgery through small incisions (VATS). If you are having planned lung surgery that requires one-lung ventilation, you may be able to join.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT05226247Recruiting
Check whether careful weaning prevents lung fluid buildup
This study looks at people on a breathing machine for more than 48 hours who are starting a “spontaneous breathing trial,” a test used to see if they can breathe on their own. It focuses on those at higher risk of “weaning-induced pulmonary edema,” meaning fluid can collect in the lungs during the weaning process.
DijonAges 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 - 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 - NCT05388682Recruiting
Treating Takayasu disease with lung artery involvement

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pulmonary complications?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 58 recruiting 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 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 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.
