Comparing two breathing methods for obese patients during weight-loss surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a BMI between 30 and 40
- You are classified as ASA II or III (has mild to severe, but not life-threatening, health issues)

- You are scheduled for laparoscopic (minimally invasive) weight-loss surgery

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 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.
This study looks at how different breathing settings during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a type of weight loss surgery) affect lung function. It may help find the best way to support breathing during surgery to protect your lungs.
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 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 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.
