NCT ID NCT07332806

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether moving patients to the recovery room before removing their breathing tube frees up the operating room faster after robot-assisted surgery. Researchers will compare two approaches in 218 adults: removing the tube in the operating room versus in the post-anesthesia care unit. They will measure how long the operating room is occupied and check for any increase in complications or recovery problems.

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 it works, this could help hospitals schedule more surgeries by reducing time each robot-assisted operation ties up an operating room.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on efficiency, not a new treatment. Results may not apply to other types of surgery or hospitals with different routines.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 218 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged ≥18 years; 2. Scheduled to undergo elective robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia; 3. Expected tracheal extubation during daytime working hours (before 4:00 PM). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Refuse to participate in the study; 2. Morbid obesity (body mass index ≥35 kg/m²); 3. Preoperatively diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea, or patients with a STOP-Bang score ≥3 in combination with serum bicarbonate (HCO₃-) ≥28 mmol/L; 4. Patients at high risk of difficult airway (anticipated difficult intubation and/or extubation during preoperative assessment); 5. Preexisting sick sinus syndrome, severe sinus bradycardia (heart rate \< 50 beats/min), or second-degree or higher atrioventricular block without pacemaker implantation; congenital heart disease with any type of arrhythmia; or other severe cardiovascular diseases with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class ≥III; 6. Significant pulmonary function impairment (FEV₁/FVC ratio \< 70%, and total lung capacity \[TLC\] and vital capacity \[VC\] \< 80% of predicted values); 7. Severe hepatic dysfunction (Child-Pugh class C); severe renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular filtration rate \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m²); or American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification ≥IV; 8. Preoperative diagnoses of schizophrenia, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, or myasthenia gravis; 9. Inability to communicate due to coma, severe dementia, or language impairment; 10. Planned postoperative admission to the intensive care unit; 11. Any other conditions that are deemed for study participation.
