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.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 35.

This trial tests a new way to monitor oxygen levels in patients having gallbladder surgery. It uses a special index to help keep you safe while you are not breathing on your own.
This trial compares how quickly patients with and without sarcopenia (muscle loss) reach safe oxygen levels before surgery and tracks a special oxygen monitor during preoxygenation. It may help doctors better prepare people for major abdominal cancer surgery.
This trial tests a new way to monitor oxygen levels in people having throat surgery under general anesthesia. It may help doctors catch drops in oxygen earlier and keep you safer during brief periods without breathing.
This study tests a new way to monitor oxygen levels in your blood during laparoscopic kidney removal surgery (a minimally invasive procedure using small cuts and a camera). Researchers want to see if this monitoring method works well when using different amounts of anesthesia gas.
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 compares two ways of helping you breathe during anesthesia for surgery: one controlled by an anesthesiologist by hand, and one using an automatic machine. Researchers want to see which method works better and is safer for patients 65 and older.
