Does your position during surgery affect your lungs? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07654153
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study will use lung ultrasound to check how different surgical positions (lying on back, stomach, side, or in lithotomy) affect lung collapse after general anesthesia. Researchers will enroll 100 adults having planned surgery. The goal is to see if some positions are better than others at preventing lung collapse.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors choose surgical positions that reduce the risk of lung collapse after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with only 100 participants. It does not test a treatment, so it may not lead to direct changes in patient care.
