Lung opening maneuvers during spine surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether periodic lung opening maneuvers during back surgery can reduce lung collapse and improve breathing mechanics. Doctors will use ultrasound to monitor your lungs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You are scheduled for elective lower back surgery under general anesthesia
- Your surgery will be done lying face down and is expected to last at least 2 hours
- You are generally healthy (ASA physical status I or II)
- You do not have chronic lung or heart disease, have no history of chest surgery, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Your BMI is 30 or less

This trial tests a computer-controlled method to open collapsed lung parts during laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to improve breathing and reduce complications after surgery.
This study tests whether a standard lung-opening procedure during anesthesia can help doctors predict if a patient needs more fluids. It may help keep blood pressure stable during surgery.
This trial tests a new way to set oxygen levels during spine surgery while lying face down. The goal is to see if it can prevent small air sacs in the lungs from collapsing after surgery, which may help you breathe easier.
This study uses lung ultrasound to see how different positions during surgery affect lung collapse after general anesthesia. It may help find ways to reduce breathing problems after an operation.
This trial tests different time intervals for a lung-opening technique (alveolar recruitment) during planned abdominal surgery, aiming to restore 90% of lung volume. It may help lower the risk of lung complications after surgery.
This study compares two different levels of breathing support during spine surgery performed while lying face-down. Researchers want to see which level works better for your lungs during the procedure.
