Salbutamol inhaler to prevent lung collapse during surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a salbutamol inhaler during surgery helps keep your lungs open and prevents a common complication where small air sacs collapse. It may help you breathe easier after surgery on your chest, belly, or spine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 70 years old.
- You should be in generally good health or have only mild health issues (like well-controlled high blood pressure).
- Your surgery must be on your chest, belly, or spine.
- You cannot have heart conditions other than high blood pressure, such as an irregular heartbeat, a previous heart surgery, or a heart valve problem.

This study tests whether giving a medication called salbutamol during weight-loss surgery helps keep your lungs working well while you are under anesthesia. It might make breathing during and after surgery easier for people with obesity.
This trial tests whether a short suction step during keyhole lung surgery helps the lung collapse better, which may make the surgery easier and safer. It is for adults having planned single-port video-assisted thoracic surgery (a type of keyhole surgery) at Siriraj Hospital.
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 compares different breathing settings used during surgery to see which may reduce lung problems after the operation. It may help you recover more smoothly after surgery.
This study tests whether giving patients extra breathing support before, during, and after major abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications like pneumonia or breathing difficulties. The goal is to help patients recover more smoothly.
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.
