Oxygen reserve index to detect low oxygen during throat surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for elective endolaryngeal surgery (surgery on your voice box or throat)
- Your surgery will use general anesthesia with planned breaks in breathing
- You are in good health or have mild to moderate health problems (ASA class I to III)
- You can give written permission to take part

This trial tests a new way to monitor oxygen levels in patients having gallbladder surgery. It uses a special index to help keep you safe while you are not breathing on your own.
This study looks at a special monitor (oxygen reserve index) to help doctors catch drops in oxygen early in older patients having cancer surgery. It may add an extra layer of safety during anesthesia.
This trial tests a new way to set oxygen levels during spine surgery while lying face down. The goal is to see if it can prevent small air sacs in the lungs from collapsing after surgery, which may help you breathe easier.
This trial tests if giving extra oxygen through a special laryngoscope blade can help patients maintain oxygen levels while a breathing tube is placed during general anesthesia. It may be an option for adults having surgery with general anesthesia.
This study tests a new way to monitor oxygen levels in your blood during laparoscopic kidney removal surgery (a minimally invasive procedure using small cuts and a camera). Researchers want to see if this monitoring method works well when using different amounts of anesthesia gas.
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.
