Monitoring breathing and activity after belly surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a wearable device to monitor your breathing and activity after abdominal surgery. It may help doctors catch early signs of lung problems so you can get help sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be having surgery on your belly (abdominal surgery).
- You must be at high risk for lung problems after surgery (your doctor will check this with a special score).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests if a reminder system on an incentive spirometer (a breathing exerciser) helps people do their breathing exercises more often after surgery to prevent lung problems. It is for adults having non-cardiac surgery with at least one night in the hospital who have a higher risk of lung complications.
This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs before surgery to predict which patients might develop breathing problems afterward. It helps doctors understand how a simple scan can warn about complications, so they can prepare better care after your operation.
This study tests whether giving gentle breathing support before and during major abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications after the operation. It is for adults at medium to high risk for breathing problems after surgery.
This trial tests whether a personalized breathing setting during surgery can lower the risk of lung complications after weight-loss surgery. If you have a high risk of lung issues, you may be eligible.
This trial is testing if using less air pressure from the breathing machine during abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications. If you are at higher risk for breathing problems after surgery, this study may help find a safer way to manage your breathing during the operation.
This trial tests a new sensor that monitors your breathing to predict if you might have trouble after surgery. It is for people who are staying overnight in the hospital and getting extra oxygen through a face mask.
