A smarter way to give oxygen during lung surgery? trial puts new monitor to the test
NCT ID NCT07720778
First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether using the Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI)—a noninvasive monitor that detects moderate oxygen excess—can help anesthesiologists fine-tune oxygen levels during one-lung ventilation. The goal is to reduce hyperoxemia (too much oxygen in the blood), which may cause complications after lung surgery. The study compares ORI-guided oxygen adjustment to standard care in adults undergoing elective lung surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ORI-Guided FiO2 Titration
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could reduce hyperoxemia and its complications during one-lung ventilation, improving patient safety in thoracic surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with 58 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The Oxygen Reserve Index is a newer tool, and its benefit over standard care is not yet proven.
