Warm moist oxygen for recovery after surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving warm, moist oxygen after surgery helps patients breathe easier while waking up from anesthesia. It compares this type of oxygen to standard care to see if it improves recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are having or just had surgery with general anesthesia (you were completely asleep with a breathing tube).
- Your blood oxygen level was normal before the surgery when breathing ordinary room air.
- You do not have severe lung disease (like advanced COPD, lung scarring, or uncontrolled asthma) or severe heart disease (like advanced heart failure or unstable angina).
- You can use a face mask for oxygen during your recovery, and you will be in the recovery room for at least 30 minutes after waking up.

This trial tests how the amount of oxygen given before removing the breathing tube after abdominal surgery affects oxygen levels after the tube is removed. It may help prevent low oxygen levels while you recover in the post-anesthesia care unit.
This trial tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask (called a high-flow nasal cannula) right after major abdominal surgery helps prevent lung problems. It might make your recovery smoother by giving you extra oxygen through small tubes in your nose.
This study tests different ways to give oxygen after a breathing tube is removed, to see which method helps patients with low oxygen levels recover better. It aims to find the safest and most effective approach to support breathing during this critical time.
This trial tests a special oxygen mask that fits inside the nose for people who breathe through their mouth after surgery. It may help you get enough oxygen while you recover in the post-anesthesia care unit.
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 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.
