Comparing two breathing methods during surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having elective laparoscopic surgery (belly-button surgery) and need a breathing machine during the procedure.
- Your physical health status is classified as ASA I or II (generally healthy or with mild disease).
- You will receive a muscle relaxant as part of your anesthesia.
- You will be on the breathing machine for at least 1 hour during surgery.
- You are not pregnant, have a BMI of 35 or less, and are not a smoker.

This study compares different ways of using a breathing machine during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It looks at how much pressure is put on the lungs to find the safest and most effective method for people having this type of surgery.
This study compares two ways of setting the ventilator during surgery to reduce lung complications. Researchers will test whether using a lower 'driving pressure' (a setting on the breathing machine) helps protect the lungs better than usual care. It is for adults having high-risk surgeries under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
This trial compares a special breathing tube (LMA Protector) with a standard tube (ETT) to see which one works better for patients having planned urological surgery. It checks how easy it is to breathe with the machine and the risk of stomach contents getting into the 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 compares two ways of helping you breathe during surgery to see which one is better for your brain and lungs. The results may help doctors choose the safest method for people like you.
This study looks at different ways of giving breathing support during laparoscopic abdominal surgery. It may help doctors find the safest settings for the ventilator (breathing machine) to protect your lungs during the procedure.
