Better Breathing Preparation During Spine Surgery
This trial tests a new way to prepare the airway (breathing tube insertion) during major spine surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to keep your heart and brain better oxygenated during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need major spine surgery scheduled under general anesthesia (not an emergency)
- Your heart's pumping ability must be adequate (ejection fraction 35% or higher)
- No history of brain conditions or current brain issues
- Your lungs must be in reasonably good health (no severe lung disease)
- Your body mass index should be 40 or lower
- You cannot have a condition affecting your nervous system's automatic functions (like blood pressure or heart rate control)

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 study compares two different levels of breathing support during spine surgery performed while lying face-down. Researchers want to see which level works better for your lungs during the procedure.
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during lung surgery to see which one better protects brain health. One method lets you keep breathing on your own, and the other uses a standard tube. This may help reduce confusion or memory problems after surgery.
This study tests whether periodic lung opening maneuvers during back surgery can reduce lung collapse and improve breathing mechanics. Doctors will use ultrasound to monitor your lungs.
This trial tests if different oxygen levels before removing a breathing tube after abdominal surgery can prevent low oxygen levels in the recovery room. It may help patients avoid breathing problems after waking up.
