Best breathing support after surgery in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares different ways of helping patients breathe after surgery while they're being moved to the intensive care unit. Researchers want to find the safest and most effective method for patients who need a breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery under general anesthesia (sleep medicine) that was not heart surgery
- You need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) after surgery
- You are 18 years old or older
- You did not need a breathing machine before your surgery
- You can provide informed consent or have a legal representative who can

This study looks at how a breathing machine is used during surgery. It is for adults who need help breathing while under general anesthesia for their operation.
This trial compares two types of breathing support (high-flow nasal cannula vs. non-invasive ventilation) in children who have recently had heart surgery and are at high risk of having trouble breathing after their breathing tube is removed. The goal is to see which method works better to help them breathe on their own.
This study looks at breathing (respiratory) therapies to help after certain heart surgeries that can cause the lungs to feel overly inflated. If you’re eligible, you may receive and be assessed for how well these breathing treatments work during your recovery.
This study compares different ways to support breathing in patients who need a ventilator in the cardiac intensive care unit. It aims to find the best approach for people with certain heart conditions, like cardiogenic shock or heart failure.
This trial is testing if using less air pressure from the breathing machine during abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications. If you are at higher risk for breathing problems after surgery, this study may help find a safer way to manage your breathing during the operation.
This trial looks at how different types of breathing support during and after surgery affect recovery. It is for adults having surgery with general anesthesia and a breathing tube.
