Studying dead space in breathing machines during surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at a part of breathing machines called 'dead space' in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to learn more about how the lungs work during controlled breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You are having planned (elective) surgery under general anesthesia
- You already have an arterial line, central line, and breathing tube as part of your standard care
- You will be on a breathing machine for 60 minutes or more
- You will be lying on your back during the study
