Simple bedside score may spot breathing trouble after ENT surgery
NCT ID NCT07344103
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study looks at whether a quick, non-invasive breathing score (the ROX index) can predict low oxygen levels right after nose or sinus surgery. Researchers will follow 80 adults having elective septorhinoplasty or endoscopic sinus surgery. The goal is to see if the ROX index, measured before surgery, can identify patients at risk for early postoperative hypoxemia.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adult patients aged 18 to 65 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-II who are scheduled for elective septorhinoplasty or endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia will be included in this study. All participants will undergo standard preoperative assessment, including measurement of oxygen saturation and respiratory rate on room air, and will be monitored postoperatively in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) according to routine clinical practice.
