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.

- 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

This trial looks at how different types of breathing support during and after surgery affect recovery. It is for adults having surgery with general anesthesia and a breathing tube.
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 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 trial looks at whether people’s anxiety before ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery affects how much pain medicine (opioids) they need after surgery. It may help doctors better plan pain control based on anxiety level and possibly gender-related patterns.
This trial looks at how much pain medication people need after a thoracotomy (a type of open chest surgery) and what factors affect their pain. It aims to help doctors better manage pain after surgery.
This study compares recovery quality after major urological surgery using either opioid-free or opioid-based general anesthesia. It aims to see if avoiding opioids can improve how patients feel after surgery.
