High flow oxygen for collapsed lung after keyhole surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a high-flow nasal cannula (a device that delivers warm, moist oxygen through your nose) after laparoscopic surgery can help prevent or reduce collapsed lung areas (atelectasis) that sometimes occur after anesthesia and surgery. It may help you recover better and avoid breathing problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for elective laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery in general surgery, urology, or gynecology.
- You will have general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
- Your health is classified as ASA I, II, or III (low to moderate risk).
- You do not have severe, uncontrolled lung conditions like COPD or asthma.
- You have no collapsed lung area or fluid in the lungs before surgery.

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 study tests whether giving you high-flow oxygen through your nose after major abdominal surgery helps prevent breathing complications. Researchers want to see if this oxygen treatment reduces lung problems that sometimes happen after surgery.
This trial tests whether using high-flow nasal oxygen after surgery helps frail patients recover better and avoid breathing problems. It includes people having long abdominal, vascular, or chest surgeries who have several health risks like older age, low oxygen levels, or heart or lung conditions.
This trial tests if using high-flow oxygen through the nose before surgery helps patients who need emergency surgery and have a full stomach. It may make oxygen levels safer during the start of anesthesia.
This trial studies whether a breathing support therapy given after surgery can reduce the chance of lung complications. It focuses on people having gynecologic tumor surgery who are at higher risk for breathing or lung problems.
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.
