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.

- Be able to walk around (a cane or walker is okay)
- Be a patient in the pre-surgery Anesthesia and Surgical Screening (PASS) clinic
- Have a DASI score under 34 on the screening questionnaire

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 checks if simple fitness tests done before surgery can predict how well your body stores oxygen. It may help doctors plan better anesthesia care.
This study tests if breathing in carbon dioxide can help doctors see how well blood flows to your heart muscle. It is for people with known or suspected heart disease who already had a scan showing reduced blood flow.
This study looks at whether a simple COPD assessment test score can predict how well patients with stable COPD do after planned surgery. It may help doctors better understand and manage risks for people like you.
This study tests a program that helps you get stronger before surgery by doing exercises at home. It's for people waiting for certain types of surgery (like abdominal, chest, or pelvic) and aims to improve recovery.
