ATELECTASIS

This study tested two ways of managing breathing during heart bypass surgery to see which better prevents lung complications. Over 1,500 adults having planned heart surgery were randomly assigned to either no breathing support or gentle, low-volume breaths while on the heart-lung…

This study tested whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool called Carebot AI CXR can read chest X-rays as well as human radiologists. Researchers looked at X-rays from 956 hospital patients and compared the AI's accuracy in detecting lung conditions like collapsed lung, nodul…

This study tested two different methods of removing the breathing tube after a C-section under general anesthesia. 120 women took part to see which method helps keep oxygen levels stable. The goal is to reduce breathing problems right after surgery.

This study tested whether using a lower amount of fresh gas during anesthesia (low-flow) could reduce lung collapse (atelectasis) after laparoscopic weight-loss surgery. Sixty adults were randomly assigned to receive either low-flow or normal-flow anesthesia. The researchers meas…

This study tested whether using 50% or 100% oxygen during breathing tube removal after surgery helps prevent oxygen drops. 119 adults having general anesthesia took part. The goal was to find the safest oxygen level for recovery.

This study tested two methods of removing a breathing tube after digestive surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better. 208 adults having surgery lasting over an hour took part. One group had the tube removed the usual way, and the other had it removed while still conn…

This study tested whether using a special oxygen monitor (ORI) during robotic surgery helps prevent lung collapse (atelectasis) after the procedure. 58 adults having robotic surgery took part. The researchers measured lung health with ultrasound before and after surgery to see if…

This study tested whether a tool called the ARISCAT score can predict lung complications (like pneumonia or collapsed lung) after major abdominal cancer surgery. Researchers followed 410 adults who had surgery under general anesthesia. The goal was to see if the score could help …

This study tested an AI tool that helps doctors interpret chest X-rays. Researchers used 500 past X-rays from two UK hospitals and compared how well 30 healthcare professionals (like emergency doctors) read the images with and without AI help. The goal was to see if the AI improv…

This study looked at whether using less oxygen (70% or 40% instead of the usual 100%) just before removing a breathing tube after surgery could reduce lung collapse. 48 adults having elective surgery took part. The researchers measured lung collapse using a special imaging techni…
