Lung protection during laparoscopic abdominal surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at different ways of giving breathing support during laparoscopic abdominal surgery. It may help doctors find the safest settings for the ventilator (breathing machine) to protect your lungs during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned (elective) laparoscopic abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.
- You will be on a breathing machine that controls the volume of each breath during surgery.
- You can sign a consent form to participate.
- You are not having emergency surgery or expected to need a breathing machine before surgery.
- Your surgery is not expected to change to an open procedure.

This study compares two ways of setting the ventilator during surgery to reduce lung complications. Researchers will test whether using a lower 'driving pressure' (a setting on the breathing machine) helps protect the lungs better than usual care. It is for adults having high-risk surgeries under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
This study tests how doctors adjust breathing machines during abdominal surgery to reduce lung injury. Researchers will compare different ventilator settings in patients having surgery that lasts at least 2 hours.
This study compares two ways of helping you breathe during surgery to see which one is better for your brain and lungs. The results may help doctors choose the safest method for people like you.
This trial tests a computer-controlled method to open collapsed lung parts during laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to improve breathing and reduce complications after surgery.
This study tests different ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) during laparoscopic surgery in people with obesity. The goal is to find a safer and more effective ventilation method for this group.
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.
