Could a simple inhaled drug during surgery prevent dangerous lung complications?
Disease control CompletedThis study looked at whether giving lidocaine as a mist into the lungs during major abdominal surgery could lower the chance of serious lung problems after the operation. Lung complications after surgery can lengthen hospital stays and increase costs and death risk. The study inc…

Ultrasound could reveal hidden lung changes after surgery
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study uses lung ultrasound to measure how the lungs change after surgery to remove part of a lung due to cancer. Researchers will check lung aeration before surgery, right after, and 24 hours later in about 32 adults. They aim to see if ultrasound findings relate to oxygen l…

Study aims to solve debate over best ventilator setting to keep lungs open after surgery
Knowledge-focused CompletedAfter surgery with general anesthesia, parts of the lungs can collapse, causing low oxygen. Doctors use a breathing machine setting called PEEP to keep lungs open, but the best level is unclear. This study looked back at 450 patients to see which PEEP level was linked to less lun…

New study tests best way to keep lungs open during surgery
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at 70 adults having surgery to see if a special breathing machine setting (lowest driving pressure) prevents lung collapse better than standard protective settings. Researchers used lung ultrasound to check for collapse right after surgery. The goal was to find …

Tiny chest sensor could replace breathing tube after surgery
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study tested whether a small motion sensor taped to the chest can measure the volume of air a person inhales, similar to a standard incentive spirometer. Thirty healthy adults took 18 different breaths while wearing the sensor and breathing through a spirometer. The goal was…
