High flow oxygen to reduce infections in obese gynecologic cancer patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving high flow oxygen during and after surgery can lower the risk of infections in obese women with gynecological cancer. It may help improve recovery after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have obesity (BMI greater than 30) and gynecological cancer
- Your blood counts are within normal limits before surgery (hemoglobin above 11, white blood cells 4,000-11,000, platelets 150,000-400,000)
- If you had chemotherapy before surgery, at least 3 weeks have passed since your last treatment
- You do not have a weakened immune system from medications or illness
- You do not have an existing infection in your abdominal wall or sepsis

This trial studies whether a breathing support therapy given after surgery can reduce the chance of lung complications. It focuses on people having gynecologic tumor surgery who are at higher risk for breathing or lung problems.
This trial tests whether using high-flow nasal oxygen after surgery helps frail patients recover better and avoid breathing problems. It includes people having long abdominal, vascular, or chest surgeries who have several health risks like older age, low oxygen levels, or heart or lung conditions.
This trial tests adding hyperbaric oxygen (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) before standard chemotherapy for breast cancer. The goal is to see if it helps shrink the tumor more effectively before surgery.
This trial tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask (called a high-flow nasal cannula) right after major abdominal surgery helps prevent lung problems. It might make your recovery smoother by giving you extra oxygen through small tubes in your nose.
This trial tests whether giving hyperbaric oxygen (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) before standard treatment can help shrink hormone receptor-positive breast cancer tumors. It aims to see if this added treatment is safe and effective.
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen during surgery helps people who are having part of their lung removed for lung cancer. It may help keep oxygen levels stable while the lung is not being used for breathing.
