Salbutamol during weight-loss surgery for lung protection
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a common asthma medication (salbutamol) during surgery can help protect the lungs of people with obesity undergoing weight-loss surgery. It may improve breathing mechanics and reduce strain on the lungs during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or higher, and you are a candidate for weight-loss surgery.
- You are scheduled for a planned laparoscopic (keyhole) bariatric surgery.
- You are in generally good health (ASA class I, II, or III).
- You don't have a known allergy to salbutamol (albuterol), severe heart or lung disease, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests two different ways of using a ventilator during bariatric surgery to see which one works better for people with obesity. It may help your lungs work better during and after surgery.
This trial tests how different settings on the anesthesia machine affect people having weight-loss surgery. It aims to find the best way to manage breathing during the procedure.
This early-stage study tests whether giving patients a quick-acting asthma inhaler (salbutamol) during chest, belly, or spine surgery can prevent their lungs from partially collapsing after anesthesia. Collapsed lung tissue is common after surgery and can slow recovery.
This trial tests whether a personalized breathing setting during surgery can lower the risk of lung complications after weight-loss surgery. If you have a high risk of lung issues, you may be eligible.
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.
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.
