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.
Who can take part
- 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 between 18 and 60 years old
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic (minimally invasive) weight-loss surgery
- You have no history of chest surgery, lung disease, abnormal chest X-ray, heart failure, low blood volume, or high pressure in the skull

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 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 methods—a standard risk score (El Ganzouri index) and an ultrasound exam—to predict how easy it will be to place a breathing tube during weight-loss surgery. The goal is to find the best way to keep patients safe during anesthesia.
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.
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.
