Breathing support after keyhole surgery to prevent lung collapse
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery in general surgery, urology, or gynecology.
- You will receive general anesthesia (you are fully asleep) for the surgery.
- You are in generally good health as rated by your doctor (ASA class I-III).
- You do not have severe or poorly controlled chronic lung problems like COPD or asthma.
- You do not have pre-existing lung collapse (atelectasis) or fluid around the lungs detected before surgery.

This study looks at how different breathing machine settings during laparoscopic surgery affect the lungs. It will help doctors make ventilation safer for patients, especially those with lung issues.
This study compares two types of breathing exercises to help patients recover their lung function after chest surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to use either a device that pushes air into the lungs (positive pressure breathing) or a handheld spirometer to practice deep breathing.
This study tests a breathing technique used during surgery to help keep children's lungs open. It may help reduce lung issues after surgery and improve recovery.
This study compares two different oxygen levels used during lung surgery to see if one helps prevent the lung from partially collapsing afterward. It may help you recover better after your operation.
This trial tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask (called a high-flow nasal cannula) right after major abdominal surgery helps prevent lung problems. It might make your recovery smoother by giving you extra oxygen through small tubes in your nose.
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.
