A monitor to detect breathing problems after surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new respiratory monitoring system to see if it can detect and predict opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) — when pain medicines slow your breathing too much — in patients recovering from surgery. The monitor uses a face mask, nasal cannula, and small sensors to track breathing continuously, so that doctors can step in early if there is a problem.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 20 and 40
- You will receive opioid pain medicine (like morphine) after surgery for breakthrough pain
- You are classified as ASA physical status I, II, or III (generally healthy to having mild or moderate health problems)
- You understand and speak English well enough to follow the instructions

This study tests a new sensor that watches your breathing and alerts doctors early if your breathing starts to slow down. It's for people who are recovering from non-heart surgery and need extra oxygen after waking up.
This study tests a new, very sensitive wearable monitor that tracks your breathing. It will be used before, during, or after surgery or oxygen therapy to see how well it works.
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing muscles in patients who need extra oxygen or breathing support, like a mask or high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors better understand how to treat respiratory failure.
This study tests a new way to predict breathing problems soon after surgery by looking at ventilator waveforms. If successful, it could help doctors spot issues earlier and provide better care.
This trial tests a new way to measure breathing using a standard oxygen sensor (pulse oximetry) and a special clip on the nose for children and adults. It's meant for people already having their blood oxygen checked regularly, and the goal is to see if the sensor can accurately track your breaths.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive breathing monitor to help doctors decide when it's safe to remove the breathing tube after upper abdominal surgery. It aims to reduce complications by predicting who will breathe well on their own.
