Lung function and anesthesia in bariatric surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks how well your lungs work after you receive anesthesia (sleep medicine) for weight-loss surgery. It will help doctors choose the best anesthetic for people with obesity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be obese and scheduled for weight-loss (bariatric) surgery.
- You cannot have an aneurysm (bulging blood vessel) in your aorta or brain that might rupture, or have had recent blood vessel surgery.
- You cannot have increased pressure inside your skull, recent bleeding in your brain, or recent head surgery that entered your skull.
- You cannot have had a stroke, heart attack, unstable chest pain (angina), or a collapsed lung in the last 6 months.
- You cannot have uncontrolled high blood pressure.
- You cannot have had recent eye surgery or a history of a detached retina, or cough up blood without a known cause.

This study looks at whether using a special breathing tube to measure pressure inside the esophagus (food pipe) and set the ventilator to your needs can reduce lung complications after weight-loss surgery. It may help people with obesity get safer anesthesia and better breathing after surgery.
This trial tests a personalized way of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery to reduce lung stress. It compares a tailored approach with standard care in people with obesity.
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 study compares two anesthesia methods—inhaled gas (desflurane) versus IV medication (TIVA)—during weight-loss surgery to see how each affects your body's stress response and recovery. The goal is to understand which approach may be safer and more comfortable for patients having bariatric surgery.
This study tests whether giving a medication called salbutamol during weight-loss surgery helps keep your lungs working well while you are under anesthesia. It might make breathing during and after surgery easier for people with obesity.
This trial tests whether a personalized breathing setting during surgery can lower the risk of lung complications after weight-loss surgery. If you have a high risk of lung issues, you may be eligible.
