Lung ultrasound for sleep apnea patients having surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound before surgery can help doctors better manage patients with obstructive sleep apnea. It may help reduce breathing complications after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (either by a sleep study or a STOP-BANG score of 3 or more).
- You are scheduled for surgery that does not involve your heart, lungs, throat, or voice box.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a muscle or nerve disease.
- You are not expected to need intensive care after surgery.

This study tests a special breathing maneuver (ultrasound-guided lung recruitment) during surgery to see if it helps prevent small areas of lung collapse in children. It may help kids with longer surgeries keep their lungs open and working better afterward.
This study uses ultrasound to measure diaphragm movement in children with sleep apnea during routine surgery. It may help doctors better understand how sleep apnea affects breathing.
This study tests whether periodic lung opening maneuvers during back surgery can reduce lung collapse and improve breathing mechanics. Doctors will use ultrasound to monitor your lungs.
This study tests whether ultrasound scans and simple body measurements can help doctors predict when placing a breathing tube during surgery might be difficult. If successful, it could help doctors plan safer anesthesia care.
This trial tests if using ultrasound-guided lung opening maneuvers during surgery can reduce lung complications after a total laparoscopic hysterectomy in patients with sleep apnea. It may help you if you have obesity and sleep apnea.
This study uses lung ultrasound before surgery to see if it can help predict breathing complications after major non-chest surgery. If you are having a long surgery under general anesthesia, this could help your care team better monitor and protect your lungs.
