Breathing strategies during weight-loss 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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having laparoscopic bariatric surgery (sleeve gastrectomy or mini gastric bypass)
- Your BMI is between 35 and 60
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have no serious lung disease before surgery
- Your oxygen level is 92% or higher on room air before surgery
- You have never had a collapsed lung or lung injury from air pressure

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 study tests whether using a digital breathing exercise device (incentive spirometer) helps people recover better after weight-loss surgery. You'll use the device before and after your operation to help keep your lungs healthy.
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 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 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 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.
