Oxygen levels before waking up after abdominal surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests how the amount of oxygen given before removing the breathing tube after abdominal surgery affects oxygen levels after the tube is removed. It may help prevent low oxygen levels while you recover in the post-anesthesia care unit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You are having planned abdominal surgery with general anesthesia and a breathing tube
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 28
- Your oxygen level is at least 94% at rest before surgery
- You do not have any breathing problems like infection, collapsed lung, or fluid around the lungs
- You have not had chest surgery or fractures, and you can raise both arms easily

This study looks at whether a simple breathing measurement taken before weight-loss surgery can help predict if you might have low oxygen levels after surgery. If you are already scheduled for this type of surgery, participating may help doctors improve care for future patients.
This study tests whether giving warm, moist oxygen after surgery helps patients breathe easier while waking up from anesthesia. It compares this type of oxygen to standard care to see if it improves recovery.
This study tests a special carbon dioxide monitor to help decide when it's safe to remove your breathing tube after abdominal surgery. If you are having a planned abdominal procedure lasting 1–4 hours, you may be able to join.
This study is testing whether adjusting the amount of oxygen given during and after surgery can help reduce lung complications in people having lung surgery with a special breathing tube. The goal is to find a safer oxygen level that might keep your lungs healthier.
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
This study looks at how different oxygen levels during surgery affect recovery. It includes adults having surgery with a breathing tube, but excludes people having open-heart surgery, certain lung procedures, or who have had bleomycin chemotherapy.
