Better Breathing Preparation During Spine Surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving a specific level of extra oxygen during prone spine surgery can reduce lung collapse (atelectasis) after the operation. It uses a simple ultrasound to check the lungs, and aims to find a better way to manage oxygen during surgery for your safety and recovery.
This study compares two different levels of breathing support (called PEEP) during spine surgery while you lie on your stomach. The goal is to see which level keeps your lungs working better during the operation.
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 ways of giving anesthesia during chest surgery to see how they affect your brain health after the operation. One method lets you breathe on your own during the procedure, while the other uses a breathing tube. The goal is to find a safer approach that helps you recover better.
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 study checks how much oxygen is in your body during anesthesia for a planned brain or spine procedure. It aims to see if a new monitor can safely track oxygen levels without extra blood tests.
