Protective breathing support during robot surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (belly, urinary, or gynecologic surgery).
- You are at higher risk of lung complications after surgery (either based on a risk score of 26 or more, OR you are over 40, surgery will last more than 2 hours, and you will have an arterial line).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are able to give written consent to participate.
- You are not pregnant or nursing (if applicable).
- You are not currently in poor health (ASA score 4 or higher, which means very severe illness).

This study tests a new way to manage breathing during lung surgery that might reduce lung complications after the operation. It could help patients recover better and avoid problems like infection or fluid buildup in the lungs.
This study tests whether giving patients extra breathing support before, during, and after major abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications like pneumonia or breathing difficulties. The goal is to help patients recover more smoothly.
This study looks at ways to predict breathing-related complications after lung surgery. By participating, you may help doctors better identify who might need extra care after surgery, which could lead to better recovery and safety for future patients.
This study tests different ways of setting breathing support during open-heart surgery to reduce lung complications after surgery. It may help improve recovery by protecting your lungs while you are on the heart-lung machine.
