Monitoring during surgery to reduce time on a breathing tube
This study tests whether special monitors used during major abdominal surgery can help high-risk patients wake up sooner and need a breathing tube for less time after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether extra brain monitoring during and after major abdominal surgery helps older patients recover better. The monitoring tracks brain function to guide anesthesia and care, which might reduce confusion or other problems after surgery.
This study tests a new way to manage breathing during lung surgery that might reduce lung complications after the operation. It could help patients recover better and avoid problems like infection or fluid buildup in the lungs.
This study tests whether a special monitor can help doctors know when it's safe to take a breathing tube out after surgery in the ICU. The monitor looks at pain signals, and the goal is to make the process of breathing on your own again more comfortable.
This study tests whether using a special tube and monitoring technique during surgery can reduce breathing problems after the operation. It may help patients recover better after certain types of surgery.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive breathing monitor to help doctors decide when it's safe to remove the breathing tube after upper abdominal surgery. It aims to reduce complications by predicting who will breathe well on their own.
This study tests whether combining three monitoring tools can help doctors predict if it's safe to remove your breathing tube after surgery. The tools measure your breathing effort, muscle strength, and depth of anesthesia, which may help reduce breathing problems after extubation.
