COPD test scores and surgery risks
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple COPD assessment test score can predict how well patients with stable COPD do after planned surgery. It may help doctors better understand and manage risks for people like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 40 and 70 years old
- You have stable COPD (not having a flare-up in the last month)
- You are scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) surgery lasting at least 2.5 hours
- You are in good enough health to be classified as ASA II or III (mild to moderate health risk for surgery)
- You can stay in the hospital for at least 3 days after surgery for monitoring
- You are willing to join the study and can answer questions before anesthesia

This study looks at whether a simple test from your blood and your physical health rating can help predict if you might have lung problems after a major surgery on your belly area. The goal is to help doctors plan better care for older patients during and after surgery.
This study uses a simple breathing test before scheduled heart surgery to see if it can help predict breathing or lung complications after the operation. The results may help doctors identify patients who need extra support during recovery.
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 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.
This study checks if a simple test of your heart and breathing before chest surgery can help predict problems after the operation. It looks at people having surgery for lung, esophagus, stomach, or chest tumors.
This study looks at whether a simple breathing measurement taken before weight-loss surgery can help predict if you might have low oxygen levels after surgery. If you are already scheduled for this type of surgery, participating may help doctors improve care for future patients.
