Effect of body position on low oxygen after surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether changing your body position after surgery helps improve oxygen levels in your blood and prevents low oxygen. If you qualify, participating may help doctors find better ways to keep patients safe during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had surgery with general anesthesia and a breathing tube.
- You did not have low blood pressure or a slow heart rate when you woke up in the recovery room.
- Your oxygen levels were normal before surgery.
- You can safely change your body position after surgery (no restrictions due to your surgery type).
- You do not have severe heart, lung, or brain conditions (like high pressure inside the skull).

This study tests whether lying on your side versus on your back helps maintain better oxygen levels during and after a stomach/intestine viewing procedure. The trial includes patients with lung conditions to see what works best for different people.
This study tests whether your body position during recovery from sedated endoscopy (a camera procedure to examine your stomach and colon) affects your oxygen levels. The researchers want to find the best recovery position to keep your oxygen levels stable and safe.
This study looks at whether a simple breathing test done before surgery can predict if you might have low blood oxygen levels after ear, nose, or throat surgery. If you are planning septorhinoplasty or sinus surgery, joining could help your care team plan better for your recovery.
This study looks at how different pain relief methods during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery affect your oxygen levels after the operation. It aims to find which pain management approach helps you breathe better and recover more comfortably.
This study tests whether a slightly raised head-and-shoulders position (semi-recumbent) helps prevent low oxygen levels after lung surgery. If you are having a small-incision lung removal, it may help you breathe better after the operation.
This trial compares two ways of giving extra oxygen before and during a painless endoscopy (a procedure to look inside your stomach or colon). The goal is to see which position reduces the risk of your blood oxygen levels dropping too low during the procedure. This could help make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
