Preoperative health checks and oxygen reserve before surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether simple physical tests, like handgrip strength and a 6-minute walk test, can predict how well your body handles oxygen before surgery. It may help doctors improve care during anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia (you'll be asleep).
- You do not have severe COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or restrictive lung disease.
- You do not have severe heart failure (NYHA class III or IV).
- You have no hand problems that prevent a handgrip strength test, and no conditions that prevent a 6-minute walk test.
- Your surgery is not an emergency.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well oxygen gets into your blood before surgery, comparing people with and without muscle loss (sarcopenia). It may help doctors give better oxygen support during surgery.
This study looks at whether a simple COPD assessment test score can predict how well patients with stable COPD do after planned surgery. It may help doctors better understand and manage risks for people like you.
This study looks at whether a simple breathing measurement taken before weight-loss surgery can help predict if you might have low oxygen levels after surgery. If you are already scheduled for this type of surgery, participating may help doctors improve care for future patients.
This study is developing and checking how well a pre-surgery evaluation system (using objective body measurements) can predict and help around the time of anesthesia and surgery. You might be asked to complete a clinic screening and provide consent, as long as your results fit their safety and screening thresholds.
This study tests whether a simple exercise test before surgery can help doctors better predict and prevent complications in older adults undergoing major operations. You'll do a gentle exercise test on a stationary bike or treadmill to measure your fitness level.
This trial uses a simple 6-minute walk test to see how well you can function before surgery. The goal is to help doctors plan better and reduce problems after surgery.
