AbClo device for open abdomen and breathing
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.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU)
- You had abdominal surgery and your abdomen is still open

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving botulinum toxin (a treatment that relaxes muscles) early after surgery can help close the abdomen more easily. It may be a good option if you have had abdominal surgery that left your belly open.
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 looks at a device (“Fasciotens”) used to help manage an open abdomen and support closure during planned or necessary return surgeries. It aims to see how safely and effectively the device works in people who need a temporary open belly treatment.
This trial tests a method to close the abdominal wall during hernia repair surgery. It looks at how your lungs and belly respond during surgery to reduce complications after a large hernia repair.
This trial uses a non-invasive monitoring device to see if it can help predict when patients can safely have their breathing tube removed after upper abdominal surgery. The goal is to improve the success of coming off the ventilator.
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.
