Nasal airflow in patients after surgery

This study compares different ways of helping patients breathe after surgery while they're being moved to the intensive care unit. Researchers want to find the safest and most effective method for patients who need a breathing tube.

This trial tests two types of non-invasive breathing help (NIV and HVNI) for patients who develop serious breathing problems within two days after major surgery. It aims to see which method works better to avoid needing a breathing tube.

This trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during surgery on your voice box or windpipe without using a breathing tube. One method uses gentle puffs of air, and the other delivers warm, humidified oxygen through small prongs in your nose.

This study tests whether sending a small amount of air through the nose can help reduce shortness of breath in people who have a tracheostomy and are on a breathing machine. If you often feel breathless, this simple approach might make you more comfortable.

This trial compares two types of breathing support (high-flow nasal cannula vs. non-invasive ventilation) in children who have recently had heart surgery and are at high risk of having trouble breathing after their breathing tube is removed. The goal is to see which method works better to help them breathe on their own.

This study tests a new way to manage breathing during lung surgery that might reduce lung complications after the operation. It could help patients recover better and avoid problems like infection or fluid buildup in the lungs.
