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.

This study looks at how different breathing machine settings during laparoscopic surgery affect the lungs. It will help doctors make ventilation safer for patients, especially those with lung issues.
This trial compares two ways of setting breathing support during laparoscopic surgery to see which one is better for your lungs. It may help you breathe more easily during and after surgery.
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 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 study tests whether certain body positions and breathing exercises (called ACBT) can help prevent lung problems after heart surgery. It may help you recover faster and avoid complications like pneumonia.
This trial looks at a common breathing technique used during lung surgery. It tests whether a specific way of re-expanding the collapsed lung after surgery improves your recovery. If you're having keyhole surgery to remove part of a lung, this study may help you breathe better afterwards.
