Breathing help before anesthesia for obese patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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 study tests different ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) during laparoscopic surgery in people with obesity. The goal is to find a safer and more effective ventilation method for this group.
This study tests different methods to increase oxygen levels in your blood before you receive anesthesia, which may help you breathe easier during the procedure. It is for adults with normal weight or overweight, and healthy children aged 6 to 12.
This study tests whether changing your head and body position helps with breathing mask ventilation before surgery in people with obesity.
This study compares different ways to give patients oxygen before anesthesia is used during surgery. Researchers want to understand which method works best for getting oxygen into your lungs safely.
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 study tests if high-flow nasal oxygen can prevent oxygen drops during sedated endoscopy in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea. It may help people who are at higher risk of breathing problems during the procedure.
