Ventilation strategy during robotic prostate surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how ventilators (breathing machines) are set during a specific type of robotic prostate surgery called RALP. It may help doctors find the best way to support patients' breathing during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for elective robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP).
- You must be in good general health (ASA class I, II, or III).
- You must not have severe lung disease (like advanced COPD or interstitial lung disease).
- You must not need oxygen therapy before surgery.
- You must not be having emergency surgery.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be 40 or less.

This trial compares two different timings of a lung inflation maneuver during robotic prostate surgery to see which approach helps patients breathe better after surgery.
This study looks at how different breathing settings (called PEEP) during robotic surgery affect the lungs and overall outcomes. It aims to find the safest approach for patients undergoing this type of surgery.
This trial tests a special way of breathing support during robot-assisted surgery to protect your lungs. It's for people who are at higher risk of lung problems after surgery.
This study looks at how different breathing machine settings during robotic prostate surgery affect blood flow to the brain. It aims to find the best personalized settings to protect brain health during anesthesia.
This study looks at how different breathing machine settings during laparoscopic surgery affect the lungs. It will help doctors make ventilation safer for patients, especially those with lung issues.
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.
