Warm oxygen after surgery for better recovery
This trial tests whether giving warm, moist oxygen after surgery helps patients breathe easier and recover better in the recovery room. It might reduce breathing problems after waking up from anesthesia.
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 anesthesia and a breathing tube
- You are expected to stay in the recovery room for at least 30 minutes after surgery
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health conditions (ASA class I-III)
- You do not have severe lung disease, serious heart problems, or other conditions that make oxygen therapy risky

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 tests whether giving you high-flow oxygen through your nose after major abdominal surgery helps prevent breathing complications. Researchers want to see if this oxygen treatment reduces lung problems that sometimes happen after surgery.
This study tests whether a slightly raised head-and-shoulders position (semi-recumbent) helps prevent low oxygen levels after lung surgery. If you are having a small-incision lung removal, it may help you breathe better after the operation.
This study is testing whether adjusting the amount of oxygen given during and after surgery can help reduce lung complications in people having lung surgery with a special breathing tube. The goal is to find a safer oxygen level that might keep your lungs healthier.
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen during recovery from general anesthesia changes how you breathe after surgery. You may be offered different oxygen levels around the time you wake up to see what helps your breathing most comfortably.
This study is testing whether giving extra oxygen to the lung that is not being operated on (the non-dependent lung) during surgery can reduce problems after lung surgery. If you are having lung surgery, this might help you recover better.
