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 compares two types of breathing tubes used during surgery to see if one causes fewer lung infections after a type of lung surgery (wedge resection). If you are having this surgery, your participation may help find a safer way to breathe during the procedure.
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 three measurements taken before removing your breathing tube after surgery to predict whether your lungs are ready to work on their own. The goal is to help doctors safely decide when to extubate (remove the tube) in the operating room.
This trial tests if a special breathing tube can help protect your lungs during weight-loss surgery. The tube measures pressure in your esophagus to customize your ventilator settings, which may reduce breathing complications after surgery.
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.
