Lung-protective breathing tube removal after surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special breathing tube removal method during surgery recovery to protect your lungs. It may help you breathe better after your abdominal surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having planned surgery on your abdomen (stomach or intestines).
- Your risk of a lung problem after surgery is moderate to high (based on a standard score).
- You will stay in the hospital after your surgery (not go home the same day).
- You do not have a known or expected difficult airway (trouble placing a breathing tube).
- You will not need a breathing machine after surgery.

This study tests a special breathing method before removing the breathing tube after heart surgery. It may help very overweight patients breathe easier and recover faster.
This study watches patients after major surgery to see which factors may increase the chance of needing a breathing tube again. It helps doctors better predict and prevent breathing problems in the intensive care unit.
This study tests a special carbon dioxide monitor to help decide when it's safe to remove your breathing tube after abdominal surgery. If you are having a planned abdominal procedure lasting 1–4 hours, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how doctors safely remove breathing tubes from patients with lung injury (ARDS). It aims to find ways to improve decisions about when to take the tube out.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive breathing monitor to help doctors decide when it's safe to remove the breathing tube after upper abdominal surgery. It aims to reduce complications by predicting who will breathe well on their own.
This study compares two ways of removing the breathing tube (extubation) after surgery: one with the tube's cuff inflated and one with it deflated. It aims to see which method may be safer and more comfortable for patients having short, non-airway surgeries.
