High-flow oxygen after major abdominal surgery
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask (called a high-flow nasal cannula) right after major abdominal surgery helps prevent lung problems. It might make your recovery smoother by giving you extra oxygen through small tubes in your nose.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years of age or older.
- You are having major abdominal surgery for your stomach, intestines, liver, or pancreas.
- Your surgery will last at least 3 hours under general anesthesia.
- You are able to breathe on your own right after surgery and do not need a breathing tube.
- You do not already use oxygen or a breathing machine before surgery.

This study tests whether giving warm, moist oxygen after surgery helps patients breathe easier while waking up from anesthesia. It compares this type of oxygen to standard care to see if it improves recovery.
This trial tests whether using high-flow nasal oxygen after surgery helps frail patients recover better and avoid breathing problems. It includes people having long abdominal, vascular, or chest surgeries who have several health risks like older age, low oxygen levels, or heart or lung conditions.
This trial tests if using high-flow oxygen through the nose before surgery helps patients who need emergency surgery and have a full stomach. It may make oxygen levels safer during the start of anesthesia.
This study tests whether using a special breathing device (high-flow nasal cannula) after laparoscopic surgery can prevent the small lung air sacs from collapsing. This may help you breathe more easily and recover faster after your operation.
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen through the nose during robotic surgery helps patients breathe better afterward. It may reduce breathing problems after surgery.
This trial tests how the amount of oxygen given before removing the breathing tube after abdominal surgery affects oxygen levels after the tube is removed. It may help prevent low oxygen levels while you recover in the post-anesthesia care unit.
