Oxygen adjustment to prevent lung problems after surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 30.
- You are scheduled for surgery that uses general anesthesia with a special breathing tube placed in your left lung.
- You have no current lung infections, collapsed lung, or air outside the lung seen on a CT scan.
- You have no history of chronic lung disease (like COPD) or past lung surgery.
- You have no severe heart, kidney, liver, or brain problems, and no recent serious respiratory infection.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests whether a lower or higher oxygen concentration during surgery can help protect lung function in older adults. It focuses on people 65 and older having laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery.
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.
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 trial tests whether giving a specific level of extra oxygen during prone spine surgery can reduce lung collapse (atelectasis) after the operation. It uses a simple ultrasound to check the lungs, and aims to find a better way to manage oxygen during surgery for your safety and recovery.
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
