Breathing support levels for spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You should be in good general health (classified as ASA I or II).
- You need to be scheduled for elective lumbar spine surgery while lying on your stomach.
- Your anesthesia will be given through an IV (no gas).
- You must not have significant lung disease (like COPD or asthma), severe heart disease, or be pregnant.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be under 30.

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 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 measures how lying face-down during lumbar disc surgery affects your breathing and the oxygen levels in your brain. The researchers want to see if this position is safe and how it changes blood flow and oxygen to your brain during the operation.
This study tests whether adjusting breathing machine settings during lung surgery improves oxygen levels and recovery. If you're having lung surgery, this trial may help doctors keep you safer during the procedure.
This study compares two ways doctors control your breathing during lumbar disc herniation (slipped disc) surgery. Researchers want to see which method keeps your lungs healthier during the operation.
This study compares two ways of setting the ventilator during surgery to reduce lung complications. Researchers will test whether using a lower 'driving pressure' (a setting on the breathing machine) helps protect the lungs better than usual care. It is for adults having high-risk surgeries under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
