This study tested two techniques for removing the breathing tube after a C-section under general anesthesia. 120 women were randomly assigned to have the tube removed with positive pressure (keeping air flowing in) or negative pressure (using suction). The goal was to see which m…

This study looked at whether using a special oxygen monitor (Oxygen Reserve Index) during robotic surgery can help prevent the lungs from partially collapsing after the operation. Fifty-eight adults having robotic surgery took part. The researchers measured lung health with ultra…

This study tested whether giving patients less oxygen (70% or 40%) instead of the usual 100% before removing their breathing tube after surgery reduces lung collapse. 48 adults having elective surgery took part. Researchers measured lung collapse using a special imaging technique…

This study tested whether an AI tool (Lunit INSIGHT CXR) helps healthcare professionals read chest X-rays more accurately and quickly. Researchers used 500 past X-rays from two UK hospitals and compared readings with and without AI assistance. The goal was to see if AI improves d…

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 giving 50% or 100% oxygen during breathing tube removal after general anesthesia leads to fewer drops in oxygen levels. 119 adults having various surgeries took part. The goal was to find the safest oxygen amount to prevent complications like low oxygen …
