Simple asthma drug may prevent Post-Surgery lung collapse in diabetics
NCT ID NCT07591558
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial will test whether giving a salbutamol inhaler during surgery can prevent atelectasis (partial lung collapse) in diabetic patients. Atelectasis is a common complication after chest, belly, or spine surgery. The study plans to enroll 80 adults aged 18-70 who are otherwise healthy aside from diabetes. Patients will receive 2-4 puffs of salbutamol during their operation, and doctors will check for lung collapse using vital signs, chest X-rays, and blood gas tests.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to prevent a common post-surgery lung complication in diabetic patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small trial (80 people) with no results yet. The effect may be small or not work at all, and the study only includes relatively healthy patients.
