POSTOPERATIVE PULMONARY COMPLICATIONS

This study tests whether a continuous 24-hour intravenous infusion of lidocaine can lower the chance of serious lung complications (like pneumonia or needing a breathing machine) in adults who need emergency abdominal surgery for an infection inside the belly. About 428 participa…

This study tests whether a machine learning program can predict lung complications after surgery. 512 adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia will be monitored using ultrasound and routine data. The goal is to catch problems early and improve recovery.

This study compares two types of mechanical ventilation used during surgery in 200 adults at high risk for lung complications. One method uses standard protective settings, while the other tailors the breathing pressure to each patient's lungs. The goal is to see which approach r…

This study observes 134 adults having chest surgery to see if the time one lung is deflated (single-lung ventilation) is linked to lung complications like pneumonia or breathing trouble. Researchers will track ventilation time and check for problems within a week after surgery. T…

This study tests a new rule that lets patients drink clear liquids (like water or apple juice) right up until they are called to the operating room. The goal is to reduce long fasting times and see if this improves comfort, nausea, and recovery. About 1,000 adults having planned …
