Ventilation management for abdominal laparoscopic surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a personalized approach to setting ventilator pressure during laparoscopic abdominal surgery, using a special imaging belt to monitor lung function. It aims to reduce breathing complications after surgery, especially for patients at higher risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Scheduled for laparoscopic abdominal surgery (belly surgery with small incisions)
- At moderate or high risk for lung problems after surgery, based on a standard risk score
- No history of major lung surgery, severe COPD or emphysema
- No conditions preventing use of the imaging belt (e.g., pacemaker, recent chest surgery) or unstable blood pressure

This study tests a way to set breathing machine pressures using electrical imaging of the lungs. It aims to find the best settings for patients with lung injury after trauma or major surgery, helping them breathe better with less damage.
This trial tests a way to set ventilator pressure using a special imaging technique during laparoscopic abdominal surgery. It may help patients breathe better during and after surgery.
This trial compares two ways of setting breathing support during laparoscopic surgery to see which one is better for your lungs. It may help you breathe more easily during and after surgery.
This study is testing how different ventilator settings (the machine that breathes for you during surgery) affect your lungs after surgery. They will use ultrasound to check for lung problems in the first 2 hours after surgery to see which setting is best for recovery.
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 compares two ways of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery: one guided by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and the other by standard care. The goal is to see which one helps your lungs work better during and after surgery.
