Can a heated oxygen tube stop lung complications after abdominal surgery?
NCT ID NCT07528404
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a high-flow nasal cannula (a device that delivers warm, moist oxygen at high speeds) for 24 hours after major abdominal surgery can prevent lung complications like pneumonia or collapsed lungs. Researchers will compare this to standard oxygen therapy in 580 adults. The goal is to see if this simple breathing support reduces serious lung issues within the first week after surgery.
