ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, part of a project called PrECiSIOn, is focused on improving how we understand and manage postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), which are breathing problems that can occur after surgery. An international group of experts is working to create a clear definition of these complications, rank them by how serious they are, and find the best ways to monitor patients after surgery. The goal is to help doctors identify and address the most critical issues quickly, ensuring better care for patients recovering from surgery.

Currently, the trial is not recruiting participants, but it will involve healthcare professionals with significant experience in fields like Anesthesiology, Surgery, or Intensive Care Medicine. To be part of this expert panel, individuals should have at least ten years of experience caring for patients with postoperative complications or have published studies related to these issues. This trial aims to enhance the understanding of PPCs, ultimately benefiting patients and families by leading to more effective monitoring and treatment strategies after surgery.
