Clinical Trial: High-Flow Nasal Cannula After Major Abdominal Surgery to Prevent Postoperative Pulmonary Complications

U.S., April 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07528404) titled 'High-Flow Nasal Cannula After Major Abdominal Surgery to Prevent Postoperative Pulmonary Complications' on April 07.

Brief Summary: Major abdominal surgery is associated with a substantial risk of early postoperative pulmonary complications, including atelectasis, hypoxemia, pneumonia, and increased need for respiratory support. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) provides warmed and humidified oxygen at high flow rates and may improve oxygenation, reduce respiratory workload, and support lung volume during the immediate postoperative period. However, whether routine prophylactic HFNC after major abdominal surgery reduces clinically sig...
