Predicting low oxygen levels after ENT surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a simple breathing test before surgery can help predict which patients might have low oxygen levels shortly after ear, nose, or throat surgery. It aims to make recovery safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You are scheduled for elective septorhinoplasty or endoscopic sinus surgery
- You are in good general health (classified as ASA I or II)
- You can have your oxygen level and breathing rate measured while breathing room air before surgery
- You are willing and able to give written consent for the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special nose monitor that measures carbon dioxide during awakening from anesthesia. It may help prevent low oxygen levels in older adults recovering from abdominal surgery.
This study looks at a simple breathing test (ROX index) done before weight-loss surgery to predict if you might need extra oxygen afterward. It includes patients having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.
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 trial tests a new way to measure oxygen levels during shoulder surgery when you're sitting upright. It aims to help doctors give you just the right amount of extra oxygen to keep you safe without overdoing it.
This trial tests if different oxygen levels before removing a breathing tube after abdominal surgery can prevent low oxygen levels in the recovery room. It may help patients avoid breathing problems after waking up.
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
