Testing a pre-surgery breathing and heart check tool
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is developing and checking how well a pre-surgery evaluation system (using objective body measurements) can predict and help around the time of anesthesia and surgery. You might be asked to complete a clinic screening and provide consent, as long as your results fit their safety and screening thresholds.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two devices that measure how well your lungs and heart work during exercise. It may help researchers find a simpler or more accurate way to monitor your fitness and breathing.
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.
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.
This study is testing a new method to estimate your fitness level from the results of standard heart tests you may already be getting. It aims to provide useful information to help your care team understand your heart and lung health better.
This study builds a tool to better predict risks for older adults before non-heart surgery. By joining, you might get a more personalized risk assessment to help your care team plan safer surgery.
This study looks at whether simple physical tests, like handgrip strength and a 6-minute walk test, can predict how well your body handles oxygen before surgery. It may help doctors improve care during anesthesia.
