Breathing machine use during surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how a breathing machine is used during surgery. It is for adults who need help breathing while under general anesthesia for their operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are having surgery with general anesthesia
- You will receive mechanical ventilation (breathing machine) during the surgery inside the operating room
- Your breathing is supported through a tube in your windpipe or a mask over your voice box
