Recruiting studies
- NCT07203287RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing muscle relaxants in kidney disease patients during surgery

Personalized breathing support during weight-loss surgery
This trial tests whether a personalized breathing setting during surgery can lower the risk of lung complications after weight-loss surgery. If you have a high risk of lung issues, you may be eligible.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 16 years+ - NCT07362680Recruiting
Ultrasound lung openings to prevent breathing problems after hysterectomy
This trial tests if using ultrasound-guided lung opening maneuvers during surgery can reduce lung complications after a total laparoscopic hysterectomy in patients with sleep apnea. It may help you if you have obesity and sleep apnea.
Xinxiang, HenanAges 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 - NCT07239557Enrolling by invitation
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 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT06638645Recruiting
Hospital stay after keyhole lung surgery
This study looks at how long people stay in the hospital after keyhole surgery to remove a part of the lung. It aims to find out what affects recovery time.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT05679206Recruiting
Postpartum care study for pregnancy blood-pressure complications
This study looks at people with preeclampsia during pregnancy and how their lung blood pressure and related symptoms change after delivery. It may help doctors better monitor and manage postpartum risks, especially involving the heart and lungs.
BernAges 16 years+ - NCT04615065Recruiting
Biobank study collecting emergency data for very sick patients
This study collects health and sometimes blood sample information from people arriving at the emergency department with high-risk or serious conditions. The goal is to build a large emergency “biobank” to help researchers better understand and improve urgent care.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pulmonary complications?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 55 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.
