Testing nighttime low-oxygen levels after hip fracture surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study checks how often older adults get low oxygen during the night after hip fracture surgery. It may help doctors better monitor and improve care during hospital recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be over 70 years old
- Be admitted for hip fracture treatment with surgery at an orthogeriatrics unit
- Expect to stay in the hospital for at least 5 nights
- Be able to understand the study and agree to participate
- Be able to record nighttime oxygen levels with a device

This study checks how well pulse oximeters (the devices that clip on your finger to measure oxygen levels) work when healthy people breathe lower-oxygen air. It helps make sure these devices are accurate for everyone.
This study checks spinal fluid to learn more about delirium (confusion that comes on suddenly) in people with a recent hip fracture. The results may help doctors better understand and treat delirium after hip surgery or injury.
This study tests how well certain monitors measure oxygen and blood thickness in healthy volunteers. It helps improve devices used in hospitals to keep patients safe.
This study tests whether a special breathing monitor that clips onto the nose (called EtCO2) can help reduce low oxygen levels during waking up from anesthesia after abdominal surgery in older adults. It could help ensure you breathe safely during recovery.
This study compares how much oxygen is needed and how well oxygen levels stay in a safe range after heart surgery in the ICU. It also tests whether using different oxygen monitors affects oxygen flow and oxygenation.
This study monitors your oxygen levels while you are being moved from the operating room to the recovery area after surgery. It helps doctors learn how to keep you safe during transport.
