Back Surgery: Comparing Two Breathing Support Levels
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Age between 18 and 65 years
- Generally healthy with no serious heart or lung conditions (ASA status I or II)
- Scheduled for elective lumbar spine surgery in prone position (lying face-down)
- Planned to receive general anesthesia with total intravenous anesthesia
- Body mass index under 30 kg/m²

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 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 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 tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
This study measures how well your lungs work while you are lying on your back versus in the side-lying park-bench position during brain or spine surgery. It aims to help doctors understand which position is easier for you to breathe in.
This study compares different breathing machine settings during laparoscopic (belly button) surgery to see how they affect pressure inside the skull and blood flow to the brain. If you're having surgery in a head-down or head-up position, this trial might help doctors choose safer breathing methods.
