First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study looks at whether doing a lung reopening technique multiple times during spine surgery (while lying face down) can reduce lung collapse compared to doing it just once. Sixty adults having elective spine surgery will be randomly assigned to either periodic or standard care. Doctors will use lung ultrasound to check how well the lungs are working.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Alveolar Recruitment Maneuver (a breathing technique to reopen collapsed lung areas during surgery)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a safer way to prevent lung collapse during spine surgery, reducing breathing complications after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (60 people) testing a routine procedure, so results may not apply to all patients. The benefit of periodic maneuvers over standard care is uncertain.
Conditions
The condition(s) this trial relates to.
As listed by the trial registrant
