All recruiting trials (7)

• Driving pressure-guided individualized PEEP vs standard PEEP during upper abdominal surgery

  In this randomized trial, adults at higher risk of breathing problems after upper abdominal surgery will try a personalized PEEP level based on the lowest driving pressure and compare it to a fixed PEEP of 5 cmH2O to see if it lowers postoperative lung complications.

  Recruiting Hopital Charles Nicolle · Tunis · NCT07885124

• Letting patients drink clear fluids until called to the operating room to shorten pre-surgery fasting

  This project will try letting elective procedure patients drink clear liquids until they're called to the operating room to see if fasting times, comfort, and perioperative outcomes improve.

  Recruiting University of Giessen · Giessen · NCT07488468

• Lowering driving pressure during surgeries with high risk of postoperative lung complications

  This trial tests whether using the lowest possible driving pressure during mechanical ventilation instead of standard protective settings helps adults having high-risk surgery avoid postoperative lung complications.

  Recruiting University General Hospital of Patras · Pátrai · NCT07186933

• How the length of single-lung ventilation affects lung complications after chest surgery

  This project sees if longer single-lung ventilation during thoracic surgery increases postoperative lung complications in adults aged 18–85.

  Recruiting Dr Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital · Ankara, Ankara · NCT07100860

• 24-hour IV lidocaine to reduce lung complications after emergency abdominal surgery for infection

  This will try a 24-hour continuous intravenous lidocaine infusion to see if it lowers postoperative lung complications in adults having emergency laparotomy for intra-abdominal infection.

  Recruiting Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital · Shanghai, Shanghai Municipality · NCT06304779

• Monitoring breathing and activity after abdominal surgery

  This study is testing how breathing and activity tips can help people recover better after abdominal surgery by tracking their movements and breathing for a few days.

  Recruiting University of Colorado, Denver · Aurora, Colorado · NCT06239831

• Using machine learning to prevent lung complications after surgery

  This study is testing a new way to use machine learning and lung ultrasound images to find out which patients are at high risk for lung problems after surgery.
