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 a digital breathing exercise device to help people recover after weight-loss surgery. You will use the device before and after surgery to improve your breathing and recovery.
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 study looks at how different breathing settings during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a type of weight loss surgery) affect lung function. It may help find the best way to support breathing during surgery to protect your lungs.
This study looks at whether using a special breathing tube to measure pressure inside the esophagus (food pipe) and set the ventilator to your needs can reduce lung complications after weight-loss surgery. It may help people with obesity get safer anesthesia and better breathing after surgery.
