Respiratory Variability Monitoring to Predict Postoperative Lung Complications

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Postoperative respiratory complications are common after thoracic lung resection and often emerge after leaving the immediate post-anesthesia care area. This trial investigates whether continuous monitoring of thoracic movement, via a belt sensor and frequency analysis, can reveal changes in respiratory variability that signal deterioration. Measurements are taken before anesthesia and after extubation to identify early markers of respiratory risk. Results could show whether a simple, noninvasive monitoring approach can help clinicians detect problems sooner and tailor post-surgical care. The study describes respiratory variability as a marker of good respiratory health, with reduced variability indicating higher respiratory load.
