Monitoring oxygen during surgery without a breathing tube
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to monitor oxygen levels in patients having gallbladder surgery. It uses a special index to help keep you safe while you are not breathing on your own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You are generally healthy or have only mild health issues (ASA 1 or 2).
- Your mouth and throat anatomy is suitable for easy breathing tube placement (Mallampati score less than 2).
- You are scheduled to have your gallbladder removed by laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) under general anesthesia.

This study looks at a special monitor (oxygen reserve index) to help doctors catch drops in oxygen early in older patients having cancer surgery. It may add an extra layer of safety during anesthesia.
This trial tests a new way to monitor oxygen levels in people having throat surgery under general anesthesia. It may help doctors catch drops in oxygen earlier and keep you safer during brief periods without breathing.
This study tests a new way to monitor oxygen levels in your blood during laparoscopic kidney removal surgery (a minimally invasive procedure using small cuts and a camera). Researchers want to see if this monitoring method works well when using different amounts of anesthesia gas.
This trial tests a new way to set oxygen levels during spine surgery while lying face down. The goal is to see if it can prevent small air sacs in the lungs from collapsing after surgery, which may help you breathe easier.
This study compares two ways to measure oxygen levels during lung surgery when only one lung is being used for breathing. It aims to see if a simpler, noninvasive method works as well as a blood test.
This trial tests a new way to measure oxygen levels during shoulder surgery when you're sitting upright. It aims to help doctors give you just the right amount of extra oxygen to keep you safe without overdoing it.
