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.

This study tests whether using special brain monitors during and after surgery can help older adults recover better after major abdominal surgery. It looks at how these monitors might reduce confusion or other problems after an operation.
This trial compares a special breathing tube (LMA Protector) with a standard tube (ETT) to see which one works better for patients having planned urological surgery. It checks how easy it is to breathe with the machine and the risk of stomach contents getting into the lungs.
This study checks how your breathing effort changes with different levels of breathing support from the ventilator after major abdominal surgery. It helps doctors find the best settings to help you breathe comfortably while you recover.
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 compares two types of breathing tubes used during lung surgery to see which one better protects brain health. One method lets you keep breathing on your own, and the other uses a standard tube. This may help reduce confusion or memory problems after surgery.
This study tests a prevention strategy for breathing problems after surgery. You may qualify if you're having a long surgery (over 2 hours) that is abdominal, involves lying on your stomach, or if you are obese, and you need a stomach tube as part of the procedure.
