What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

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.

Summary

This completed study looked at nearly 29,000 adults who had non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia in a large Canadian health region. Researchers wanted to see how often doctors used lung protective ventilation, a technique that uses smaller breaths and gentle pressure to reduce breathing problems after surgery. They also examined whether the COVID-19 pandemic changed how often this technique was used. The study used existing medical records to find patterns and factors that influence whether this protective approach is followed.

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 study could help hospitals improve how they use lung protective ventilation during surgery, potentially reducing breathing complications after operations.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study that looks back at past data, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other hospitals or countries.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * over the age of 18 * underwent general anesthesia with endotracheal tube placement for a procedure lasting ≥30 minutes. * included in both our clinical anesthesia record database and the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database, and linkable by usual identifiers (name, date of birth, medical record number, personal health number, date of surgery) Exclusion Criteria: * no endotracheal tube utilized * cardiothoracic surgery * organ donation surgery * organ transplant recipient * Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy * surgical procedure related to an occurrence or complication of prior procedure during the same admission/within 30 days, * multiple NSQIP assessed cases within 30 days only for same patient * cases in clinical anesthesia record database that are unable to be linked to NSQIP data or vice versa.
