Nasal oxygen therapy for mouth breathers after surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must be having chest or abdominal surgery with general anesthesia.
- You must be able to breathe on your own and breathe through your mouth after the breathing tube is removed.
- You must not have severe sleep apnea or need a CPAP machine.
- You must not have very low oxygen levels right after surgery.
- You or your family must agree in writing to take part.

This study looks at whether a simple breathing test done before surgery can predict if you might have low blood oxygen levels after ear, nose, or throat surgery. If you are planning septorhinoplasty or sinus surgery, joining could help your care team plan better for your recovery.
This trial tests whether a breathing tube placed in the nose (nasopharyngeal airway) combined with high-flow oxygen can improve safety during painless gastroscopy in people with obesity. It may help you breathe better while sedated.
This trial compares two ways of giving oxygen during a heart surgery that uses small chest cuts. One method is a face mask, the other is a high-flow nasal tube. The study will see which keeps your oxygen levels better while you are awake but relaxed.
This study compares different ways to give patients oxygen before anesthesia is used during surgery. Researchers want to understand which method works best for getting oxygen into your lungs safely.
This study compares two ways of giving oxygen during surgery to people with higher body weight. It aims to see which method keeps oxygen levels safe for a longer time while the breathing tube is being placed.
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.
