POSTOPERATIVE RESPIRATORY COMPLICATIONS

This study watches 150 adults having planned surgery to see if combining three monitoring checks—breathing pattern, muscle strength, and brain activity—can better predict when it's safe to remove the breathing tube. Doctors will record these checks before removing the tube and wa…

This study looks at how deep muscle relaxation (using rocuronium) during abdominal surgery affects lung pressure and breathing problems after surgery. Researchers will compare deep versus moderate relaxation in 128 adults having open abdominal surgery. The goal is to see if one a…

This study watches how the lungs work during surgery in 34 adults under general anesthesia. It uses special monitors to measure lung pressure and air distribution during a routine breathing technique called alveolar recruitment. The goal is to see if these monitors can help docto…

This study looks at whether using a non-invasive ultrasound device to measure the upper airway during surgery can help predict breathing problems in children under three years old. Researchers will measure the airway in 350 children having elective surgery and track any respirato…

This study will monitor 52 adults after surgery to see if the timing of opioid painkillers affects breathing problems. Participants will wear a noninvasive breathing monitor in the recovery room. The goal is to find a link between when opioids are given and drops in breathing fun…
