New oxygen monitoring method could reduce lung collapse after spine surgery
NCT ID NCT07375173
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a device that monitors oxygen levels in real time during spine surgery can help doctors give just the right amount of oxygen, reducing lung collapse afterward. 74 adults having spine surgery will be split into two groups: one gets standard fixed oxygen, the other gets oxygen adjusted based on the monitor. Lung health will be checked with ultrasound and breathing tests.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Oxygen Reserve Index-Guided Oxygen Titration
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple, noninvasive way to reduce lung complications after spine surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 74 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefit over standard care may be small or absent.
