New monitoring method may shorten time on breathing machines after major surgery
NCT ID NCT07339449
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using extra monitoring devices during major abdominal surgery can help high-risk patients (aged 50 and older) spend less time on a breathing machine afterward. One group will receive standard care, while the other will have additional sensors and a special drug plan. The goal is to see if this approach leads to faster recovery and fewer complications.
