Best mask air pressure for obese patients during anesthesia
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests different air pressures during facemask breathing to find the best one that gives enough oxygen without pushing air into the stomach. It may help reduce stomach discomfort and complications during surgery for people with obesity.
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 40 or higher
- You are scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia that uses a facemask for breathing
- You have not had stomach surgery, narrowing of the esophagus, or a hiatus hernia
- You have fasted for at least 6 hours from solid food and 2 hours from clear liquids before surgery

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 a personalized way of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery to reduce lung stress. It compares a tailored approach with standard care in people with obesity.
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.
This study tests the best air pressure to use with a mask to keep air out of the stomach when you first go to sleep for surgery. It helps make anesthesia safer and more comfortable for you.
This study tests whether changing your head and body position helps with breathing mask ventilation before surgery in people with obesity.
This trial studies a way to hold gentle pressure near the throat during mask anesthesia (with or without a breathing tube) to reduce air going into the stomach. It may help lower the chance of “stomach insufflation” during elective surgery in young children.
