Defining lung complications after surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study aims to create a clear, agreed-upon definition for lung problems after surgery. It's not a treatment trial but a way to help doctors and patients better identify and grade these complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or a loved one had a lung complication after surgery in the last 5 years.
- You can speak and understand English well.
- You are not a professional advisor or colleague of the experts running the study.

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 looks at different ways of giving breathing support during laparoscopic abdominal surgery. It may help doctors find the safest settings for the ventilator (breathing machine) to protect your lungs during the procedure.
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 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 tests whether giving gentle breathing support before and during major abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications after the operation. It is for adults at medium to high risk for breathing problems after surgery.
This study looks at how things before, during, and right after lung transplant surgery affect recovery. Researchers want to learn what helps patients heal better so they can improve care.
