Testing a portable carbon dioxide monitor during surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new portable device that measures the carbon dioxide (CO2) you breathe out while on a breathing tube during surgery. The goal is to see if this device works as well as the standard monitors, which could make monitoring safer and easier in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be having planned (elective) surgery where you are put to sleep with general anesthesia.
- You must have a breathing tube in place during surgery.
- You must be scheduled to have an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) for blood pressure monitoring.
- You must be able to understand the study and sign a consent form.

This study checks whether a device that measures carbon dioxide in your breath (capnography) can reliably reflect the carbon dioxide level in your blood during lung surgery when only one lung is being used. This could help doctors monitor you more safely without extra blood tests.
This study tests whether a special breathing monitor that clips onto the nose (called EtCO2) can help reduce low oxygen levels during waking up from anesthesia after abdominal surgery in older adults. It could help ensure you breathe safely during recovery.
This study checks how well a breathing monitor matches blood carbon dioxide levels during laparoscopic surgery, where you are tilted head-down. It aims to improve monitoring of your breathing during surgery.
This study tests a special carbon dioxide monitor to help decide when it's safe to remove your breathing tube after abdominal surgery. If you are having a planned abdominal procedure lasting 1–4 hours, you may be able to join.
This study compares two ways of checking that a breathing tube is placed correctly in seriously ill adults: one uses a device that shows a waveform on a screen, and the other uses a color-changing test. It may help doctors choose the best method for patients in the emergency room or ICU.
This study tests a new way to monitor your breathing during a sedated endoscopy. A small device measures the carbon dioxide in your breath, which may help doctors catch low oxygen early and prevent complications.
