Recovery from breathing tube after surgery: day vs night
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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).

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 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 compares what happens when you are intubated (have a breathing tube placed) during surgery at night versus during the day. It looks at whether one time is riskier or takes longer, which could help improve patient safety.
This study compares removing the breathing tube right in the operating room versus waiting until you are in the ICU after heart surgery. Being awake sooner may help you recover faster and feel more in control.
This study looks at how patients feel about breathing through a tube during surgery. It aims to help doctors make the experience more comfortable by understanding how patients perceive their breathing.
