Salbutamol during weight-loss surgery for lung health
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a medication called salbutamol during weight-loss surgery helps keep your lungs working well while you are under anesthesia. It might make breathing during and after surgery easier for people with obesity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between the ages of 18 and 65.
- Your BMI is 35 or higher, and you are planning to have weight-loss surgery.
