Comparing ways to get more oxygen before anesthesia
This study tests different methods to increase oxygen levels in your blood before you receive anesthesia, which may help you breathe easier during the procedure. It is for adults with normal weight or overweight, and healthy children aged 6 to 12.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult with a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 (normal weight) or between 25.0 and 39.9 (overweight).
- You are a healthy child between 6 and 12 years old.
- You do not have a serious health condition that would put you at higher risk during anesthesia (ASA score 3 or more).
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have any signs of a cold, flu, or other respiratory infection on the day of the study.

This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
This study tests a method to keep children breathing easily while their airway is being prepared for surgery. It may help children who are 0-6 years old and having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
This study compares different ways to give patients oxygen before anesthesia is used during surgery. Researchers want to understand which method works best for getting oxygen into your lungs safely.
This study compares two ways of giving oxygen during surgery to people with higher body weight. It aims to see which method keeps oxygen levels safe for a longer time while the breathing tube is being placed.
This study looks at whether a simple breathing measurement taken before weight-loss surgery can help predict if you might have low oxygen levels after surgery. If you are already scheduled for this type of surgery, participating may help doctors improve care for future patients.
This trial tests how the amount of oxygen given before removing the breathing tube after abdominal surgery affects oxygen levels after the tube is removed. It may help prevent low oxygen levels while you recover in the post-anesthesia care unit.
