Spine surgery breathing trick: does position matter?
NCT ID NCT02285946
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study looked at 30 adults having major spine surgery to see how a lung-opening maneuver (called alveolar recruitment) affects breathing and blood flow when done in the prone (face-down) versus supine (face-up) position. The goal was to understand these effects better so doctors can tailor the maneuver to reduce lung complications after surgery. No new treatment was tested—only measurements were taken.
