Can a simple ventilator setting during surgery prevent breathing problems?
NCT ID NCT07613177
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether using higher or standard pressure on a ventilator during surgery helps patients breathe better after waking up. About 360 adults having planned non-chest, non-heart surgery will be randomly assigned to one of two pressure levels. The main goal is to see how well their lungs oxygenate the blood once they are fully awake, using a simple oxygen measurement.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during mechanical ventilation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors choose the best ventilator settings during surgery to reduce breathing problems after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study that hasn't started recruiting yet. It focuses on a short-term oxygen measurement, not long-term outcomes, so the real-world benefit is uncertain.
