Summary

This study is testing whether giving high-flow nasal oxygen right after major surgery can reduce lung complications in frail adults. About 200 high-risk patients having abdominal or chest surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either high-flow oxygen or standard oxygen. The goal is to see if the high-flow approach lowers the chance of serious lung issues in the first week after surgery.
