Oxygen plan during major belly surgery for adults
This study tests a more guided oxygen plan during long major abdominal operations to help manage how much oxygen your body uses. It compares the new oxygen approach to the current standard method during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are over 18 years old
- You can sign an informed consent form (in writing)
- You are scheduled for major abdominal surgery that lasts at least 3 hours
- Your planned surgery is open surgery (not laparoscopic)
- Your surgery is not an emergency, and it is not a major vascular surgery

This study is testing a new way to manage blood flow after heart surgery in children with congenital heart disease. The goal is to make sure the body gets the right amount of oxygen to help recovery.
This trial tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask (called a high-flow nasal cannula) right after major abdominal surgery helps prevent lung problems. It might make your recovery smoother by giving you extra oxygen through small tubes in your nose.
This trial tests how the amount of oxygen given before removing the breathing tube after abdominal surgery affects oxygen levels after the tube is removed. It may help prevent low oxygen levels while you recover in the post-anesthesia care unit.
This study checks how well oxygen levels hold up after gallbladder surgery in people with different body sizes. It looks at whether a simple sleep-apnea risk score (called STOP-BANG) helps predict who might need extra oxygen after the operation.
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
This trial tests whether a lower or higher oxygen concentration during surgery can help protect lung function in older adults. It focuses on people 65 and older having laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery.
