How Different Oxygen Breathing Methods Work Before Surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares different ways to give patients oxygen before anesthesia is used during surgery. Researchers want to understand which method works best for getting oxygen into your lungs safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests different methods to increase oxygen levels in your blood before you receive anesthesia, which may help you breathe easier during the procedure. It is for adults with normal weight or overweight, and healthy children aged 6 to 12.
This trial compares two ways of giving oxygen during a heart surgery that uses small chest cuts. One method is a face mask, the other is a high-flow nasal tube. The study will see which keeps your oxygen levels better while you are awake but relaxed.
This study looks at whether a simple breathing test done before surgery can predict if you might have low blood oxygen levels after ear, nose, or throat surgery. If you are planning septorhinoplasty or sinus surgery, joining could help your care team plan better for your recovery.
This study compares two ways to give oxygen before placing a breathing tube, to see which one keeps oxygen levels higher. It may help patients who need a breathing tube in an emergency or in the hospital.
This study compares two ways of giving oxygen during surgery to people with higher body weight. It aims to see which method keeps oxygen levels safe for a longer time while the breathing tube is being placed.
This study tests a method to keep children breathing easily while their airway is being prepared for surgery. It may help children who are 0-6 years old and having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
