Brain oxygen monitor may guide safer breathing during lung surgery
NCT ID NCT07659483
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a brain oxygen monitor to guide oxygen levels during lung surgery can reduce harm from too much oxygen. Sixty adults having elective lung surgery will be randomly assigned to either standard high oxygen or a lower oxygen strategy guided by brain oxygen readings. The goal is to see if the guided approach lowers the risk of confusion after surgery and prevents oxygen-related complications.
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 could lead to a safer oxygen management strategy during lung surgery, reducing complications from too much oxygen.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The approach may not prevent oxygen-related issues or could increase the risk of low oxygen levels.
