Defining lung complications after surgery

This trial tests a computer-based (machine-learning) approach to help prevent lung problems after elective surgery done under general anesthesia. It may help by identifying higher-risk patients and guiding care to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications.

This study compares two types of breathing exercises to help patients recover their lung function after chest surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to use either a device that pushes air into the lungs (positive pressure breathing) or a handheld spirometer to practice deep breathing.

This study looks at ways to predict breathing-related complications after lung surgery. By participating, you may help doctors better identify who might need extra care after surgery, which could lead to better recovery and safety for future patients.

This study is looking at how well certain risk scores predict lung problems after chest surgery. It involves patients who will have surgery using one-lung breathing, and the goal is to learn which scores are most useful.

This study looks at how much pain people have after lung surgery and how it affects their everyday activities. It checks pain before surgery, during the hospital stay, and for 6 months after, to help improve recovery.

This study looks at whether your physical fitness before lung surgery can predict breathing problems after surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better prepare patients for recovery.
