Coca-Cola versus oxygen for surgeon fatigue in Tibet
This trial tests whether Coca-Cola can help manage fatigue in surgeons working at high altitude in Tibet, compared to oxygen. If you are a surgeon in Lhasa who leads long operations, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a surgeon at the People's Hospital of the Tibet Autonomous Region.
- You can act as the lead surgeon in operations lasting at least 2 hours.
- You have lived and worked in Lhasa for at least 3 months without going to lower-altitude areas.
- You agree to learn about the study and sign a consent form.

This study tests whether extra oxygen helps thinking and memory in healthy people living at high altitude in Kyrgyzstan. Researchers want to understand how oxygen affects the brain in people already adapted to living in mountainous areas.
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 looks at how healthy people's bodies and minds adapt when they travel to the high-altitude Tibetan plateau. It aims to help understand the changes and find ways to support people working there.
This study tests whether drinking a ketone supplement helps your body adapt better during a 5-week altitude training program. You would live at high altitude but train at low altitude.
This study examines how working at high altitudes (where there is less oxygen in the air) affects employees at an astronomical observatory in Chile. Researchers want to understand health impacts and develop better support for people working in these extreme conditions.
This study looks at how long surgeons operate and whether that affects their mental tiredness. It might help understand how to reduce fatigue in the operating room.
