Breathing treatment to prevent lung problems after gynecologic surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a breathing support therapy given after surgery can reduce the chance of lung complications. It focuses on people having gynecologic tumor surgery who are at higher risk for breathing or lung problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 to 90 years old and have gynecologic tumor surgery planned at this center
- Have a chest CT scan within 1 week before surgery
- Expected surgery time will be 2 hours or longer
- Have at least one higher-risk factor: high breathing-risk score, BMI 30+ , moderate-to-severe asthma, moderate-to-severe COPD, or a smoking history of 20 pack-years or more
- Not have lung metastasis (lung spread of cancer) or a primary lung cancer
- No prior lung surgery or radiation therapy, and the surgery will not include cutting out part of the bowel

This trial tests if using high-flow oxygen through the nose before surgery helps patients who need emergency surgery and have a full stomach. It may make oxygen levels safer during the start of anesthesia.
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 using a high-flow nasal cannula (a device that delivers warm, moist oxygen through your nose) after laparoscopic surgery can help prevent or reduce collapsed lung areas (atelectasis) that sometimes occur after anesthesia and surgery. It may help you recover better and avoid breathing problems.
This trial tests whether using high-flow nasal oxygen after surgery helps frail patients recover better and avoid breathing problems. It includes people having long abdominal, vascular, or chest surgeries who have several health risks like older age, low oxygen levels, or heart or lung conditions.
This study tests whether giving you high-flow oxygen through your nose after major abdominal surgery helps prevent breathing complications. Researchers want to see if this oxygen treatment reduces lung problems that sometimes happen after surgery.
This trial tests whether giving high flow oxygen during and after surgery can lower the risk of infections in obese women with gynecological cancer. It may help improve recovery after surgery.
