Preoxygenation study for sarcopenic vs non-sarcopenic patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares how quickly patients with and without sarcopenia (muscle loss) reach safe oxygen levels before surgery and tracks a special oxygen monitor during preoxygenation. It may help doctors better prepare people for major abdominal cancer surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at a special monitor (oxygen reserve index) to help doctors catch drops in oxygen early in older patients having cancer surgery. It may add an extra layer of safety during anesthesia.
This trial tests a new way to monitor oxygen levels in patients having gallbladder surgery. It uses a special index to help keep you safe while you are not breathing on your own.
This study checks if simple fitness tests done before surgery can predict how well your body stores oxygen. It may help doctors plan better anesthesia care.
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) might affect side effects from cancer treatments. If you are starting a new cancer treatment, a CT scan before treatment can help doctors predict your risk of side effects.
This trial tests a new approach to treat sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) by targeting a protein called HIF-1α. It compares older adults with sarcopenia to younger adults without it, all of whom are having hip or knee surgery.
This trial studies how having both low muscle mass and obesity might affect sleep quality in people with obesity hypoventilation syndrome. It aims to better understand sleep issues in this condition.
