Cuff pressure changes in weight loss surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the pressure in the breathing tube changes during weight loss surgery. It aims to help make the procedure safer and more comfortable.

This trial tests how different settings on the anesthesia machine affect people having weight-loss surgery. It aims to find the best way to manage breathing during the procedure.
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 study compares two ways to check the air pressure in a breathing tube's cuff: using a special device (manometer) versus the doctor's hand feel. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer throat discomforts after surgery.
This study tests whether the way doctors measure the pressure in your breathing tube during breast surgery can affect how you feel afterward, like having a sore throat or hoarseness.
This trial tests two different ways to keep your lungs inflated with air during bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. Researchers want to see which method helps you breathe better and recover faster after your procedure.
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.
