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 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 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 study compares two different types of breathing tubes for people having surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which tube is easier to place on the first try when using a special video-guided tool.
This study looks at whether giving anesthesia without a breathing tube (non-intubated) is as safe and effective as using a breathing tube during minimally invasive esophageal cancer surgery. If you're having this surgery, this trial compares two ways to keep you comfortable and breathing during the operation.
This trial tests whether a breathing tube placed in the nose (nasopharyngeal airway) combined with high-flow oxygen can improve safety during painless gastroscopy in people with obesity. It may help you breathe better while sedated.
