POSTOPERATIVE PULMONARY COMPLICATIONS (PPCS)

This study tests whether tailoring breathing machine settings to each patient during lung surgery can lower the chance of lung problems like pneumonia or breathing failure. About 352 adults having video-assisted lung surgery will be randomly assigned to either standard ventilatio…

This study tests whether giving a low, steady dose of norepinephrine during laparoscopic abdominal surgery can reduce the amount of IV fluids needed and lower the risk of lung complications afterward. It includes 130 adults at high risk for lung problems. The drug is given from t…

This study tests whether customizing ventilator settings during heart bypass surgery can lower the risk of lung complications like pneumonia or respiratory failure. Researchers will compare a standard approach with one that adjusts settings based on lung mechanics. Eighty adults …

This study looks at whether a machine-learning score based on immune cells and proteins in the blood can predict serious lung complications after lung cancer surgery. Researchers will enroll 100 adults undergoing keyhole lung surgery and track complications like pneumonia or coll…

This study tests whether giving patients extra breathing support (positive pressure ventilation) before, during, and after high-risk abdominal surgery can reduce lung complications like pneumonia or respiratory failure. About 206 adults aged 18 to 90 who are scheduled for major a…

This study looks at whether changing body position and doing special breathing exercises can help prevent lung issues like pneumonia after heart surgery. About 124 adults having planned heart surgery will be split into four groups: one getting usual care, one doing only breathing…

This study will check if a simple lung ultrasound done before, during, and after surgery can predict who will need extra oxygen or develop lung complications. Researchers will follow 97 adults having major non-chest surgery. The goal is to see if the ultrasound score is linked to…

This study tests a new ventilation method called flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) during lung surgery, comparing it to standard volume-controlled ventilation. About 140 adults having elective thoracic surgery with one-lung ventilation will take part. The goal is to see if FCV is…
