Oxygen monitor for older adults in cancer surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at a special monitor (oxygen reserve index) to help doctors catch drops in oxygen early in older patients having cancer surgery. It may add an extra layer of safety during anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for planned (elective) cancer surgery.
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health problems (ASA I to III).
- You do not have severe heart or lung conditions like advanced heart disease, serious valve problems, or very fast heart rate.
- You do not have memory loss or dementia.

This study tests a new oxygen monitor during surgery to see if it helps keep oxygen levels safe when the breathing tube is removed. It may help patients having gallbladder removal surgery.
This study looks at how well oxygen gets into your blood before surgery, comparing people with and without muscle loss (sarcopenia). It may help doctors give better oxygen support during surgery.
This trial tests a new way of monitoring oxygen levels during throat surgery. It may help doctors keep patients safer by giving an early warning if oxygen drops too low.
This trial compares two ways of delivering anesthesia during kidney removal surgery to see which one better monitors your oxygen levels. It aims to find a safer method to keep you stable during the procedure.
This study looks at how doctors monitor oxygen levels in patients having lung surgery that requires one lung to be collapsed for at least an hour. The goal is to improve patient safety.
This study tests whether a special breathing monitor that clips onto the nose (called EtCO2) can help reduce low oxygen levels during waking up from anesthesia after abdominal surgery in older adults. It could help ensure you breathe safely during recovery.
