Oxygen levels before surgery in people with muscle loss
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well oxygen gets into your blood before surgery, comparing people with and without muscle loss (sarcopenia). It may help doctors give better oxygen support during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for major abdominal surgery to remove cancer.
- You are willing to take part in the study.
- You do not have a serious heart or lung condition.
- You are able to walk without help.

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 study tests a new oxygen monitor during surgery to see if it helps keep oxygen levels safe when the breathing tube is removed. It may help patients having gallbladder removal surgery.
This study looks at whether simple physical tests, like handgrip strength and a 6-minute walk test, can predict how well your body handles oxygen before surgery. It may help doctors improve care during anesthesia.
This study compares different ways to give patients oxygen before anesthesia is used during surgery. Researchers want to understand which method works best for getting oxygen into your lungs safely.
This trial tests whether giving a specific level of extra oxygen during prone spine surgery can reduce lung collapse (atelectasis) after the operation. It uses a simple ultrasound to check the lungs, and aims to find a better way to manage oxygen during surgery for your safety and recovery.
This trial looks at whether low muscle mass (sarcopenia) before surgery affects recovery for older adults with gastrointestinal cancer. It may help doctors personalize care and improve outcomes.
