A sensor to detect breathing problems early after surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new sensor that watches your breathing and alerts doctors early if your breathing starts to slow down. It's for people who are recovering from non-heart surgery and need extra oxygen after waking up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You are having surgery that is not on your heart.
- You will stay in the hospital for at least one night after your surgery.
- You will receive extra oxygen through a face mask or nose tubes while in the recovery room after surgery.
- You do not need a breathing machine (ventilator) to help you breathe after surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new respiratory monitoring system to see if it can detect and predict opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) — when pain medicines slow your breathing too much — in patients recovering from surgery. The monitor uses a face mask, nasal cannula, and small sensors to track breathing continuously, so that doctors can step in early if there is a problem.
This study tests a new way to predict breathing problems soon after surgery by looking at ventilator waveforms. If successful, it could help doctors spot issues earlier and provide better care.
This study tests a new, very sensitive wearable monitor that tracks your breathing. It will be used before, during, or after surgery or oxygen therapy to see how well it works.
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing muscles in patients who need extra oxygen or breathing support, like a mask or high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors better understand how to treat respiratory failure.
This trial tests a new way to measure breathing using a standard oxygen sensor (pulse oximetry) and a special clip on the nose for children and adults. It's meant for people already having their blood oxygen checked regularly, and the goal is to see if the sensor can accurately track your breaths.
This study tests a new device, the PneumoRator, which monitors your breathing and oxygen during surgery. It may help doctors track your recovery after major surgery.
