Lung protection during obesity surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having laparoscopic or robotic weight-loss surgery.
- Your BMI is 30 or higher.
- Your surgery is expected to last at least 2 hours.
- You do not have serious heart or lung conditions.

This study tests a prevention strategy for breathing problems after surgery. You may qualify if you're having a long surgery (over 2 hours) that is abdominal, involves lying on your stomach, or if you are obese, and you need a stomach tube as part of the 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 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 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 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 study tests a way to adjust breathing pressure during laparoscopic surgery (when you are lying head-down) to protect your lungs. It uses a small balloon in your esophagus to measure pressure and set the best breathing support for you.
