Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

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 trial will test whether lying on your side (lateral position) or sitting up slightly (semirecumbent position) better prevents low oxygen levels after surgery. About 1200 adults who had general anesthesia will be randomly assigned to one of these positions. Their oxygen levels will be closely monitored for 10 minutes after positioning to see which group has fewer dangerous drops.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
body positioning (semirecumbent or lateral)
What this could lead to
If this trial succeeds, it could establish a simple, low-cost way to prevent dangerously low oxygen levels after surgery, improving recovery for many patients.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial that hasn't started recruiting yet. The results may not apply to all surgical patients, and the benefit of one position over the other may be small or nonexistent.
