Sleep apnea risk before chest surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a simple questionnaire (STOP-Bang) to check if patients having chest surgery might have undiagnosed sleep apnea or face breathing challenges during surgery. It helps doctors plan safer care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for chest surgery
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- Your physical health rating (ASA) is 1, 2, or 3
- You have never been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea
- You have not had head or neck surgery or radiation therapy in the past
- You agree to take part in the study

This trial tests whether the STOP-BANG checklist can help doctors predict when a patient might have a difficult airway during surgery. If you are overweight and having planned surgery with a breathing tube, you may be eligible.
This study checks dental patients for the risk of sleep apnea before surgery and looks at whether that risk is linked to problems after general anesthesia. It may help you understand your own risk and improve safety.
This study looks at how surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) may affect your airway. The goal is to understand if the surgery makes it easier to manage your airway in the future.
This trial uses a simple lung ultrasound to see if it can help doctors better manage patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during surgery. If you have OSA and are having surgery, this study may show a new way to improve your care.
This study looks at how well patients sleep and if they have breathing problems during sleep before and after heart bypass surgery. It may help understand how sleep affects recovery.
This study compares oxygen levels after gallbladder surgery in patients with and without obesity. It uses the STOP-BANG test to screen for sleep apnea and helps find if weight affects breathing right after surgery.
