Opioid Timing and Breathing Risk After Surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at when opioids are given during surgery and how it affects breathing problems after surgery. It might help understand how to make pain control safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 85 years old
- You are having surgery with general anesthesia that will last at least 2 hours
- You are expected to need pain medicine (opioids) after surgery
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not have a severe lung condition affecting only one side

This study looks at how different ways of supporting breathing during surgery affect recovery after the operation. It aims to find the best approach to help patients breathe better and heal faster after surgery.
This study follows adults in the hospital after surgery to understand how pain and opioid (strong pain medicine) use affect them. Your answers on questionnaires help researchers see what happens after different types of anesthesia.
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 study looks at how much opioid pain medicine people need after a thoracotomy (chest surgery) and what factors affect their pain levels. By understanding this, doctors can improve pain management for future patients.
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen during recovery from general anesthesia changes how you breathe after surgery. You may be offered different oxygen levels around the time you wake up to see what helps your breathing most comfortably.
This study compares different breathing settings used during surgery to see which may reduce lung problems after the operation. It may help you recover more smoothly after surgery.
