Ultrasound lung openings to prevent breathing problems after hysterectomy
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if using ultrasound-guided lung opening maneuvers during surgery can reduce lung complications after a total laparoscopic hysterectomy in patients with sleep apnea. It may help you if you have obesity and sleep apnea.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for a total laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus removal through small incisions)
- You have sleep apnea or are at high risk for it (STOP-BANG score of 3 or more)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is over 28 (classified as overweight or obese)
- You are generally healthy enough for surgery (ASA class I to III)
