Pre-surgery oxygen test for bariatric surgery patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at a simple breathing test (ROX index) done before weight-loss surgery to predict if you might need extra oxygen afterward. It includes patients having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.
- Your BMI is 35 or higher.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I, II, or III).
- You are not currently on oxygen or breathing support at home.
- You do not have a serious heart condition, active cancer, or a pregnancy.

This trial tests if different oxygen levels before removing a breathing tube after abdominal surgery can prevent low oxygen levels in the recovery room. It may help patients avoid breathing problems after waking up.
This trial studies whether a simple breathing test before surgery can help predict which patients might have low oxygen levels shortly after ear, nose, or throat surgery. It aims to make recovery safer.
This study compares oxygen levels after gallbladder surgery in patients with and without obesity. It uses the STOP-BANG test to screen for sleep apnea and helps find if weight affects breathing right after surgery.
This trial tests a new way to monitor oxygen levels in patients having gallbladder surgery. It uses a special index to help keep you safe while you are not breathing on your own.
This study checks if simple fitness tests done before surgery can predict how well your body stores oxygen. It may help doctors plan better anesthesia care.
This trial tests two different ways to keep your lungs inflated with air during bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. Researchers want to see which method helps you breathe better and recover faster after your procedure.
