AbClo device for open abdomen and breathing
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing a device called AbClo that helps close the abdomen after surgery. It looks at how the device affects breathing in patients who are in the ICU and on a ventilator.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a method that uses a special vacuum dressing and a mesh to help close the abdomen after surgery. It may help people with an open abdomen heal faster and avoid further surgeries.
This trial looks at a part of breathing machines called 'dead space' in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to learn more about how the lungs work during controlled breathing.
This study checks how your breathing effort changes with different levels of breathing support from the ventilator after major abdominal surgery. It helps doctors find the best settings to help you breathe comfortably while you recover.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive breathing monitor to help doctors decide when it's safe to remove the breathing tube after upper abdominal surgery. It aims to reduce complications by predicting who will breathe well on their own.
This trial tests a new way to close the abdominal wall after surgery for a large hernia, using lung compliance measurements to guide the closure. It aims to improve recovery by finding the best closure technique for each patient.
This trial is testing if using less air pressure from the breathing machine during abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications. If you are at higher risk for breathing problems after surgery, this study may help find a safer way to manage your breathing during the operation.
