Face position study for obese patients during anesthesia
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether changing your head and body position helps with breathing mask ventilation before surgery in people with obesity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two different ways of using a ventilator during bariatric surgery to see which one works better for people with obesity. It may help your lungs work better during and after surgery.
This trial tests a new way to manage the airway (the breathing tube) in people with obesity who are having a painless stomach and colonoscopy. It aims to see if this new approach improves safety and comfort during the procedure.
This study compares how anesthetic medications behave in the bodies of people with normal weight versus overweight or obese patients undergoing surgery. Understanding these differences may help doctors choose safer anesthesia doses for each patient.
This study tests whether turning your head to the left helps doctors see your vocal cords better during anesthesia. It focuses on people with obesity undergoing surgery that requires a breathing tube.
This study tests whether using a mask and high-flow oxygen together before anesthesia can help obese patients get more oxygen into their lungs before surgery. It may reduce the risk of low oxygen levels during the start of anesthesia.
This trial tests different air pressure levels during facemask breathing before surgery to find the one that avoids air going into the stomach while still providing enough oxygen. It is for people with a BMI of 40 or higher who are having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
