Spine surgery breathing study: does position matter for lung health?
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.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors tailor breathing support during spine surgery to reduce lung complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or surgeries. It does not test a new treatment.
