Can a simple oxygen device make robotic surgery safer?
NCT ID NCT07591610
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving high-flow nasal oxygen before, during, and after robotic surgery can prevent oxygen drops and lung complications. About 190 adults having robotic surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either high-flow oxygen or standard care. The goal is to see if this approach improves breathing safety throughout the procedure and recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- high-flow nasal oxygen (device)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could reduce breathing complications and oxygen drops during and after robotic surgery, making recovery safer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial (190 people) testing a device, not a new drug. The benefits may be modest or not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age \>= 18 * Undergoing non-emergent, non-cardiac, intra-abdominal, intra-thoracic or pelvic robot-assisted surgery with an expected duration of at least 2 hours under general anesthesia with planned extubation at the end of the procedure Exclusion Criteria: * Known pregnancy * Preoperative intubation or tracheostomy * Anatomical or clinical conditions precluding the use of high-flow nasal oxygen (severe midface trauma, recent nasal surgery, severe nasal septum deviation, severe nasal deformation) * Contraindications to electrical impedance tomography (EIT), including inability to place the EIT belt or presence of active implantable electronic devices (e.g., pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) * Planned postoperative admission to the intensive care unit
