Comparing breathing tube methods for brain health during surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during lung surgery to see which one better protects brain health. One method lets you keep breathing on your own, and the other uses a standard tube. This may help reduce confusion or memory problems after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if different oxygen levels before removing a breathing tube after abdominal surgery can prevent low oxygen levels in the recovery room. It may help patients avoid breathing problems after waking up.
This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during surgery to see if one causes fewer lung infections after a type of lung surgery (wedge resection). If you are having this surgery, your participation may help find a safer way to breathe during the procedure.
This study tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
This trial compares a special breathing tube (LMA Protector) with a standard tube (ETT) to see which one works better for patients having planned urological surgery. It checks how easy it is to breathe with the machine and the risk of stomach contents getting into the lungs.
This study tests three measurements taken before removing your breathing tube after surgery to predict whether your lungs are ready to work on their own. The goal is to help doctors safely decide when to extubate (remove the tube) in the operating room.
This study watches patients after major surgery to see which factors may increase the chance of needing a breathing tube again. It helps doctors better predict and prevent breathing problems in the intensive care unit.
