Oxygen dosing during surgery may reduce lung complications
NCT ID NCT06013098
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using different oxygen concentrations during and after esophageal cancer surgery could lower the risk of lung collapse (atelectasis). 65 patients were randomly assigned to receive either 30% or 60% oxygen during two-lung ventilation. The main goal was to see how often lung collapse occurred after surgery, measured by CT scan. The results could help guide oxygen use in the operating room.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- oxygen
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors choose the best oxygen levels during surgery to reduce lung problems after esophageal cancer removal.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed Phase 4 trial with only 65 participants. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeries, and the benefit may be small.
