Preventing lung problems after laparoscopic liver surgery
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if special breathing exercises before surgery can help prevent lung complications after laparoscopic (keyhole) liver surgery. It may benefit you by reducing your risk of pneumonia or other breathing issues after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for elective (non-emergency) laparoscopic liver surgery.
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You can give your written consent to participate.
- You are able to fill out questionnaires at the time you agree to join.
- You are willing to attend a pre-surgery breathing class and do the prescribed exercises.

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.
This trial tests a computer-controlled method to open collapsed lung parts during laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to improve breathing and reduce complications after surgery.
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.
This trial tests whether training your breathing muscles before lung surgery can reduce lung problems after surgery in people with stage I to IIIb lung cancer. It may help improve breathing and lower the chance of post-surgery lung complications.
This trial compares two ways of setting breathing machine pressure (PEEP) during laparoscopic surgery. It tests whether tailoring the pressure to each patient is better than using a fixed pressure for everyone. This might help people breathe easier during and after surgery.
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.
