Custom breathing machine settings for severe obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing a personalized way to set the pressure in a breathing machine during surgery. The goal is to prevent lung collapse after surgery in patients with severe obesity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new way of setting the breathing machine for people with severe obesity and lung injury (ARDS). It aims to measure pressure inside the lungs more directly, which could help customize ventilation and improve outcomes.
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.
This study tests a new way to adjust breathing machine settings to match each person's lungs, aiming to improve breathing for patients with obesity. It involves placing a small balloon in the esophagus to measure lung pressure and guide ventilator settings.
This trial tests whether giving CPAP (a breathing mask) in the recovery room can help people with severe obesity breathe better after anesthesia. It may reduce the risk of lung problems after non-heart, non-chest surgery.
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 study tests personalized breathing machine settings during open-heart surgery with a heart-lung machine to reduce lung complications after surgery. Researchers want to see if tailoring these settings to each patient helps them recover better.
