Extended breathing tube use for stomach cancer with sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at keeping a breathing tube in longer after stomach cancer surgery for patients who also have severe sleep apnea. The goal is to see if this helps with recovery and safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with stomach cancer that can be removed with surgery.
- Your cancer has not spread to other organs.
- You have severe sleep apnea, confirmed by a sleep test showing more than 30 breathing pauses per hour and low oxygen levels.
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You do not have another type of cancer now or in the past.
- You have not had a heart attack, stroke, or other serious heart problems in the last 3 months.

This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during surgery to see if one causes fewer lung infections after a type of lung surgery (wedge resection). If you are having this surgery, your participation may help find a safer way to breathe during the procedure.
This trial tests a special breathing tube to see if it can prevent low oxygen levels during sedated endoscopy in people with obesity. If you are scheduled for both an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy, this study may help make the procedure safer.
This study tests a special 'tubeless' anesthesia technique — avoiding breathing tubes during surgery — for people with early-stage lung cancer. The goal is to see if it reduces lung problems after the operation.
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.
This study tests if careful management of the pressure in the breathing tube's cuff and regular cleaning below the vocal cords can help prevent lung infections in people who need a breathing machine for a long time. It might help if you're at risk for stomach contents or saliva going into your lungs.
This trial tests if a special breathing tube can help protect your lungs during weight-loss surgery. The tube measures pressure in your esophagus to customize your ventilator settings, which may reduce breathing complications after surgery.
