Predicting breathing trouble after surgery with a new sensor
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new sensor that monitors your breathing to predict if you might have trouble after surgery. It is for people who are staying overnight in the hospital and getting extra oxygen through a face mask.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older and having surgery that is not on your heart.
- After surgery, you will stay in the recovery room and then at least one night in the hospital.
- You will be breathing extra oxygen through a face mask in the recovery room.
- Your oxygen levels will be checked continuously with a standard clip on your finger.
- You do not need a breathing machine after surgery.
- You are not having only numbing medicine (local anesthesia) or a surgery where you go home the same day.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new respiratory monitoring system to see if it can detect and predict opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) — when pain medicines slow your breathing too much — in patients recovering from surgery. The monitor uses a face mask, nasal cannula, and small sensors to track breathing continuously, so that doctors can step in early if there is a problem.
This study tests a tiny, ultra-sensitive device that monitors your breathing during surgery or oxygen therapy. Researchers want to see if this new technology can better track how well your lungs are working compared to standard monitors.
This study tracks people having video or robot-assisted lung surgery to learn how to better predict and prevent serious breathing problems after the operation. By understanding your health before surgery, doctors hope to reduce complications and improve recovery.
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing muscles in patients who need extra oxygen or breathing support, like a mask or high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors better understand how to treat respiratory failure.
This study tests a new device that tracks your vital signs (like heart rate and oxygen levels) continuously after surgery, even when you go home. It may help doctors catch problems early and improve your recovery.
This study tests if a wearable chest monitor can predict when breathing support (like a mask or nasal prongs) might stop working, so doctors can act faster. It is for hospital patients who need help breathing but are not on a breathing tube.
