Early warning for breathing problems after surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are on a breathing machine right after surgery and moved to the ICU.
- You are expected to need the breathing machine for more than 24 hours after surgery.
- You must agree to take part and sign a consent form.
- You have not had breathing failure before surgery.
- You do not have severe lung disease before surgery, such as advanced COPD or active pneumonia.
- You are expected to live at least 48 hours, and the care team plans to provide active treatment.

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 two ways of setting the ventilator during surgery to reduce lung complications. Researchers will test whether using a lower 'driving pressure' (a setting on the breathing machine) helps protect the lungs better than usual care. It is for adults having high-risk surgeries under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
This study uses lung ultrasound before surgery to see if it can help predict breathing complications after major non-chest surgery. If you are having a long surgery under general anesthesia, this could help your care team better monitor and protect your lungs.
This study uses a simple breathing test before scheduled heart surgery to see if it can help predict breathing or lung complications after the operation. The results may help doctors identify patients who need extra support during recovery.
This study looks at ways to predict breathing-related complications after lung surgery. By participating, you may help doctors better identify who might need extra care after surgery, which could lead to better recovery and safety for future patients.
This study tests a new way to manage breathing during lung surgery that might reduce lung complications after the operation. It could help patients recover better and avoid problems like infection or fluid buildup in the lungs.
