Oxygen levels before surgery and fitness tests
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study checks if simple fitness tests done before surgery can predict how well your body stores oxygen. It may help doctors plan better anesthesia care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You are scheduled for planned (not emergency) surgery with general anesthesia.
- Your physical health is classified as ASA I, II, or III.
- You do not have severe lung disease like COPD or restrictive lung disease.
- You do not have severe heart failure (NYHA class III or IV).
- You are able to do handgrip and a 6-minute walk test.
Quick eligibility check

This trial compares how quickly patients with and without sarcopenia (muscle loss) reach safe oxygen levels before surgery and tracks a special oxygen monitor during preoxygenation. It may help doctors better prepare people for major abdominal cancer surgery.
This study looks at a simple breathing test (ROX index) done before weight-loss surgery to predict if you might need extra oxygen afterward. It includes patients having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
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 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 trial tests whether a lower or higher oxygen concentration during surgery can help protect lung function in older adults. It focuses on people 65 and older having laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery.
