Surgery positions and lung collapse after anesthesia
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses lung ultrasound to see how different positions during surgery affect lung collapse after general anesthesia. It may help find ways to reduce breathing problems after an operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are in good enough health (ASA I, II, or III)
- You are having planned (not emergency) surgery with general anesthesia
- You agree to take part and sign a consent form

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 trial tests whether using a lower amount of oxygen during lung surgery helps reduce the risk of lung collapse after the operation. It may lead to better breathing and faster recovery after your surgery.
This trial tests a computer-controlled method to open collapsed lung parts during laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to improve breathing and reduce complications after surgery.
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 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.
