All recruiting trials (11)

• Early breathing therapy just one hour after CABG extubation

  This trial tests whether starting respiratory physiotherapy one hour after extubation improves recovery for adults after elective CABG compared with starting on the first postoperative day.

  Recruiting Alma Mater Europaea - Slovenia · Zagreb · NCT07730034

• Timing of Recruitment Maneuver in Robotic Prostate Surgery

  This study tests whether doing a recruitment maneuver before or after CO2 insufflation during robotic prostate surgery helps prevent lung problems afterward.

  Recruiting Ankara University · Ankara · NCT07662642

• Postoperative High-Flow Oxygen After High-Risk Abdominal and Non-Cardiac Thoracic Surgery

  This trial tests whether giving high-flow nasal oxygen after surgery helps prevent breathing problems in adults at high risk who had abdominal or non-cardiac thoracic surgery.

  Recruiting Region Stockholm · Stockholm · NCT07464730

• Ultrasound-guided fascial plane blocks to reduce lung problems after major abdominal surgery

  This study will try ultrasound-guided fascial plane blocks to see if they reduce postoperative lung complications in adults aged 65 and older having elective major abdominal surgery.

  Recruiting Dr Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital · Yenimahalle, Ankara · NCT07394816

• Automated lung recruitment during major laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery

  We will test whether automated ventilator lung recruitment during major laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery reduces intraoperative atelectasis in adults.

  Recruiting Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Research and Training Hospital · Istanbul, Bakırkoy · NCT07349784

• VExUS ultrasound-guided fluid management during thoracic surgery with one-lung ventilation

  This trial will test whether using a VExUS ultrasound-guided goal-directed fluid plan during thoracic surgery with one-lung ventilation reduces postoperative lung complications and acute kidney injury.

  Recruiting University of Crete · Heraklion, Crete · NCT07258875

• Using EIT to personalize PEEP during bariatric surgery

  This will test whether using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to set personalized PEEP during laparoscopic bariatric surgery reduces postoperative lung complications compared with a fixed PEEP of 8 cmH2O in adults with obesity.

  Recruiting Qianfoshan Hospital · Jinan, Shandong · NCT07207772

• EIT versus dynamic compliance guidance for setting PEEP during laparoscopic gynecological surgery

  This trial tests whether using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to set PEEP works better than using dynamic lung compliance for adults having elective laparoscopic gynecological surgery.

  Recruiting Pest County Flór Ferenc Hospital · Budapest, Budapest and 2 other locations · NCT07170514

• Adding periodic 'sigh' breaths to lung-protective ventilation during heart surgery

  This trial will test whether adding periodic deep 'sigh' breaths to low tidal volume, moderate PEEP ventilation reduces early lung complications in adults having elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.

  Recruiting Zhongda Hospital · Nanjing, Jiangsu · NCT07024420

• Perioperative long-acting inhaled bronchodilator for lung cancer surgery patients at high risk of postoperative lung complications

  This trial will test whether giving a long-acting inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol) around the time of lung cancer surgery helps reduce postoperative lung complications in adults with reduced lung function.

  Recruiting Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens · Amiens · NCT06865040

• Investigating flow-controlled ventilation during robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery

  This study is testing if a new way of helping patients breathe during robot-assisted surgery can make it safer for those at risk of lung problems after the operation.

  Recruiting Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen · Innsbruck, Tyrol and 2 other locations · NCT06703814
