Oxygen delivery during surgery for people with higher weight
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must be scheduled for surgery that requires a breathing tube.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be 28 or higher, meaning you are considered overweight or obese.
- You must not have serious heart or lung disease.

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 two ways of giving oxygen during a sedated gastroscopy for people with visceral obesity (extra belly fat). One method uses a high-flow nasal cannula, the other a face mask. The goal is to see which keeps oxygen levels more stable.
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 trial tests if using high-flow oxygen through the nose before surgery helps patients who need emergency surgery and have a full stomach. It may make oxygen levels safer during the start of anesthesia.
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.
