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 study measures how often difficult airways occur during heart or blood vessel surgery and builds a way to predict them beforehand. It may help your care team prepare for safer airway management during your procedure.
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 tests whether using lung ultrasound before surgery can help doctors better manage patients with obstructive sleep apnea. It may help reduce breathing complications after surgery.
This study looks at patients who had jaw surgery for obstructive sleep apnea and then developed central sleep apnea (where the brain doesn't send the right signals to breathe) after surgery. It aims to understand how these breathing problems change over time, which could help improve future care.
This study looks at whether a simple breathing test done before surgery can predict if you might have low blood oxygen levels after ear, nose, or throat surgery. If you are planning septorhinoplasty or sinus surgery, joining could help your care team plan better for your recovery.
