Lung ultrasound for sleep apnea patients in surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses a simple lung ultrasound to see if it can help doctors better manage patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during surgery. If you have OSA and are having surgery, this study may show a new way to improve your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosed by a sleep test or a STOP-BANG score of 3 or more
- You are scheduled for surgery and are otherwise healthy enough (ASA I-III)
- You are not having heart, lung, or airway surgery
- You are not pregnant, and do not have a neuromuscular disease

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 looks at how surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) may affect your airway. The goal is to understand if the surgery makes it easier to manage your airway in the future.
This trial tests a computer-controlled method to open collapsed lung parts during laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to improve breathing and reduce complications after surgery.
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.
