FCV vs VC—Obese Adults Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery
In obese adults having laparoscopic surgery, researchers will see if flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) works better than volume-controlled ventilation with autoflow (VC-AF) at keeping airway pressures and lung energy lower.
-
AI-guided mobilization education for total knee replacement patients
This study tests whether an AI-powered mobilization education video helps people recovering from total knee replacement feel less fear about moving and are better prepared to go home.
-
AI-assisted breathing training after open heart surgery
A randomized trial tests whether AI-guided breathing and arm-movement exercises help reduce pain and fatigue and improve breathing in patients after open heart surgery.
-
Upper extremity exercises with and without deep breathing after cardiac surgery
This study tests whether doing upper body range of motion exercises with deep breathing helps lung function more than the same exercises without deep breathing in adults after open-heart surgery.
-
HFNC vs Microstream nasal cannula during ERCP
This study compares high-flow nasal oxygen with the Microstream Advance nasal cannula to see which one better keeps patients’ oxygen levels stable during ERCP procedures done under deep sedation.
-

-
Fixed versus personalized PEEP for lung protection during heart bypass surgery
This test will compare a standard fixed PEEP setting with a personalized, driving-pressure guided PEEP for adults having on-pump coronary artery bypass surgery to see which better protects the lungs and breathing after surgery.
-
Ultrasound-guided auricularis magnus nerve block to reduce pain after middle ear surgery
This study will test whether an ultrasound-guided auricularis magnus nerve block reduces postoperative pain and bleeding in adults having middle ear surgery.
-
Using AI to help patients overcome fear of movement after knee replacement
