Breathing changes with extra oxygen after surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen during recovery from general anesthesia changes how you breathe after surgery. You may be offered different oxygen levels around the time you wake up to see what helps your breathing most comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your general health rating with anesthesia is ASA I, II, or III
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 40
- You are scheduled for robotic laparoscopic nephrectomy or prostatectomy
- You do not have COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder)
- You do not have severe neurological or heart/lung problems, a significant untreated thyroid problem, or a serious psychiatric condition

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 is testing whether giving extra oxygen to the lung that is not being operated on (the non-dependent lung) during surgery can reduce problems after lung surgery. If you are having lung surgery, this might help you recover better.
This study compares different breathing settings used during surgery to see which may reduce lung problems after the operation. It may help you recover more smoothly after surgery.
This study looks at whether a simple breathing measurement taken before weight-loss surgery can help predict if you might have low oxygen levels after surgery. If you are already scheduled for this type of surgery, participating may help doctors improve care for future patients.
This study is testing whether adjusting the amount of oxygen given during and after surgery can help reduce lung complications in people having lung surgery with a special breathing tube. The goal is to find a safer oxygen level that might keep your lungs healthier.
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen during surgery helps people who are having part of their lung removed for lung cancer. It may help keep oxygen levels stable while the lung is not being used for breathing.
