NCT ID NCT02285946
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how a standard breathing technique (alveolar recruitment maneuver) affects the heart and lungs during major spine surgery. Researchers compare the effects when patients are lying face-up versus face-down. The goal is to understand differences so doctors can better protect patients' lungs during surgery.
