Predicting early breathing problems after nose surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple breathing test done before surgery can predict if you might have low blood oxygen levels after ear, nose, or throat surgery. If you are planning septorhinoplasty or sinus surgery, joining could help your care team plan better for your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 65 years old.
- Be generally healthy or have only mild medical conditions (classified as ASA I or II).
- Be scheduled for septorhinoplasty (nose straightening) or endoscopic sinus surgery.
- Be able to have your oxygen level and breathing rate measured while breathing normally.
- Have a BMI no higher than 35.
- Have no serious heart or lung problems and not need oxygen at home.

This trial tests a special oxygen mask that fits inside the nose for people who breathe through their mouth after surgery. It may help you get enough oxygen while you recover in the post-anesthesia care unit.
This study tests whether a special breathing monitor that clips onto the nose (called EtCO2) can help reduce low oxygen levels during waking up from anesthesia after abdominal surgery in older adults. It could help ensure you breathe safely during recovery.
This study tests whether changing your body position after surgery helps improve oxygen levels in your blood and prevents low oxygen. If you qualify, participating may help doctors find better ways to keep patients safe during recovery.
This study looks at whether a simple breathing measurement taken before weight-loss surgery can help predict if you might have low oxygen levels after surgery. If you are already scheduled for this type of surgery, participating may help doctors improve care for future patients.
This trial compares two ways of giving oxygen during a heart surgery that uses small chest cuts. One method is a face mask, the other is a high-flow nasal tube. The study will see which keeps your oxygen levels better while you are awake but relaxed.
This study compares different ways to give patients oxygen before anesthesia is used during surgery. Researchers want to understand which method works best for getting oxygen into your lungs safely.
