Comparing two breathing methods during weight loss surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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 study tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
This study compares two ways of testing if overweight or obese patients can breathe on their own after being on a ventilator. You will be randomly assigned to one of two breathing trials (pressure support or a T-piece) to see which works better for helping you get off the ventilator.
This study compares two ways of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery: one guided by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and the other by standard care. The goal is to see which one helps your lungs work better during and after surgery.
This trial looks at a part of breathing machines called 'dead space' in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to learn more about how the lungs work during controlled breathing.
