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 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 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 uses ultrasound images of the lungs before surgery to predict which patients might develop breathing problems afterward. It helps doctors understand how a simple scan can warn about complications, so they can prepare better care after your operation.
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 tests whether a simple exercise test before surgery can help doctors better predict and prevent complications in older adults undergoing major operations. You'll do a gentle exercise test on a stationary bike or treadmill to measure your fitness level.
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
