Lung opening technique in obese women having gynecologic cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a lung opening technique (alveolar recruitment) during surgery to improve breathing in obese patients. It may help women with a moderate risk of breathing problems after gynecologic cancer surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having major gynecologic cancer surgery
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 30 and 40
- Your risk of breathing problems during surgery is moderate (ARISCAT score 26-44)
- You are healthy enough for surgery (ASA class II or III)

This trial tests a computer-controlled method to open collapsed lung parts during laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to improve breathing and reduce complications after surgery.
This study compares two ways of helping you breathe during surgery to see which one is better for your brain and lungs. The results may help doctors choose the safest method for people like you.
This study tests whether periodic lung opening maneuvers during back surgery can reduce lung collapse and improve breathing mechanics. Doctors will use ultrasound to monitor your lungs.
This study tests a special breathing maneuver (ultrasound-guided lung recruitment) during surgery to see if it helps prevent small areas of lung collapse in children. It may help kids with longer surgeries keep their lungs open and working better afterward.
This study tests a breathing technique (called automatic lung recruitment) during and after laparoscopic stomach or bowel surgery. It aims to reduce lung problems in older adults. You may be eligible if you are 65 or older, having keyhole digestive surgery lasting over 2 hours, and have a moderate to high risk for lung complications.
This trial compares two ways of managing breathing while you have surgery to remove lung cancer. It may help doctors figure out which strategy is safer and works better during the operation.
