Personalized breathing support during weight-loss surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a personalized breathing setting during surgery can lower the risk of lung complications after weight-loss surgery. If you have a high risk of lung issues, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is over 40.
- You are scheduled for weight-loss surgery done through small cuts (laparoscopy) under general anesthesia.
- Your risk of lung problems after surgery (according to the ARISCAT score) is 45 or higher.
- You have not had lung surgery before, and you do not have moderate or severe lung disease.

This trial tests two different ways to keep your lungs inflated with air during bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. Researchers want to see which method helps you breathe better and recover faster after your procedure.
This trial tests a personalized way of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery to reduce lung stress. It compares a tailored approach with standard care in people with obesity.
This trial tests if a special breathing tube can help protect your lungs during weight-loss surgery. The tube measures pressure in your esophagus to customize your ventilator settings, which may reduce breathing complications after surgery.
This trial is testing if using less air pressure from the breathing machine during abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications. If you are at higher risk for breathing problems after surgery, this study may help find a safer way to manage your breathing during the operation.
This study tests whether giving gentle breathing support before and during major abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications after the operation. It is for adults at medium to high risk for breathing problems after surgery.
This trial tests a special way of breathing support during robot-assisted surgery to protect your lungs. It's for people who are at higher risk of lung problems after surgery.
