When to remove the breathing tube after robot surgery
This study looks at whether removing the breathing tube in the operating room versus the recovery room affects how quickly the operating room is ready for the next surgery. If you are having robot-assisted surgery with general anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery with general anesthesia
- Your surgery is expected to finish before 4:00 PM so the breathing tube can be removed during daytime hours
- You do not have severe obesity (BMI under 35)
- You do not have untreated sleep apnea or other serious heart, lung, liver, or kidney conditions

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 compares removing the breathing tube right in the operating room versus waiting until you are in the ICU after heart surgery. Being awake sooner may help you recover faster and feel more in control.
This study compares two ways of removing the breathing tube (extubation) after surgery: one with the tube's cuff inflated and one with it deflated. It aims to see which method may be safer and more comfortable for patients having short, non-airway surgeries.
This study compares how well patients recover from the breathing tube (extubation) after surgery, depending on whether it happens during the day or at night. The goal is to see if there are more breathing complications at night so hospitals can improve care.
This study tests a special breathing tube removal method during surgery recovery to protect your lungs. It may help you breathe better after your abdominal surgery.
This study tests a special breathing method before removing the breathing tube after heart surgery. It may help very overweight patients breathe easier and recover faster.
