Best Breathing Machine Settings After Surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests different ventilator (breathing machine) settings during and after surgery to help your lungs work better and stay healthy. Researchers will use ultrasound pictures of your lungs to find the best settings for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having planned, non-emergency surgery that is not on the heart or lungs
- Your surgery requires general anesthesia (sleep medicine) and a breathing tube
- Your lungs are healthy with no signs of disease on a baseline ultrasound before surgery
- You can have a lung ultrasound within 2 hours after your surgery is finished
- You are 18 years or older and able to sign informed consent
- Your surgery does not involve the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle)

This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs before surgery to predict which patients might develop breathing problems afterward. It helps doctors understand how a simple scan can warn about complications, so they can prepare better care after your operation.
This study tests a breathing treatment using mild air pressure after heart surgery to help your lungs work better and reduce complications. It may be an option for people at higher risk for lung problems or those with early breathing issues after surgery.
This study is looking at how well certain risk scores predict lung problems after chest surgery. It involves patients who will have surgery using one-lung breathing, and the goal is to learn which scores are most useful.
This trial compares different breathing machine settings during lung surgery to see which helps keep your oxygen levels best and reduces lung complications after surgery.
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 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.
