This trial tests a method to drain gas from the abdomen after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery to reduce shoulder pain. If you are a woman having this type of surgery for more than 20 minutes, this may help you feel better afterward.
This study tests two breathing techniques (ACBT and blow bottle) to help people recover lung function after abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. If you have trouble coughing up mucus or need extra oxygen after surgery, you may benefit.
This study compares a low-pressure way of filling the abdomen with gas during certain colon surgeries. It aims to see whether this helps the bowel “wake up” faster after surgery (less postoperative ileus).
This study looks at whether levels of carbon dioxide in your breath and blood flow measurements during surgery can help predict nausea, vomiting, or pain after a hysterectomy. It may help doctors better manage your recovery.
This study tests whether the bacteria in your gut are linked to lung complications after a long abdominal surgery. If you are 65 or older and having a scheduled upper abdominal surgery, researchers want to understand how your microbiome affects your recovery.
This study tests whether giving you high-flow oxygen through your nose after major abdominal surgery helps prevent breathing complications. Researchers want to see if this oxygen treatment reduces lung problems that sometimes happen after surgery.
