Recovery from breathing tube after surgery: day vs night
This study compares how well patients recover from the breathing tube (extubation) after surgery, depending on whether it happens during the day or at night. The goal is to see if there are more breathing complications at night so hospitals can improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having surgery with general anaesthesia and a breathing tube.
- You will have the breathing tube removed in the operating room or recovery room.
- You agree to take part (or, for emergency surgery, you allow deferred consent).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study watches how patients do after a breathing tube is removed (extubation) in the operating room, ICU, or other anesthesia areas. It aims to learn about complications and improve care.
This trial compares removing the breathing tube while you are still deeply asleep versus waking you up first before removing it. It is for people having laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia.
This study compares different methods of suctioning the breathing tube during extubation (removal of the tube) in patients who have been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours. It aims to find the best way to clear the airway while taking the tube out.
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.
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 looks at whether removing the breathing tube in the operating room versus the recovery room affects how quickly the operating room is ready for the next surgery. If you are having robot-assisted surgery with general anesthesia, you may be able to join.
