Ultrasound of the lungs may forecast Post-Surgery oxygen needs
NCT ID NCT07515001
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will check if a simple lung ultrasound done before, during, and after surgery can predict who will need extra oxygen or develop lung complications. Researchers will follow 97 adults having major non-chest surgery. The goal is to see if the ultrasound score is linked to early oxygen needs and problems like pneumonia or collapsed lungs.
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 could give doctors a simple bedside tool to predict which patients need extra oxygen or may develop lung complications after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at prediction, so it won't change care directly. Results may not apply to all surgery types.
