Breathing measurements during minimally invasive abdominal surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study measures how your lungs respond to a specific breathing machine setting during planned abdominal surgery. Understanding these measurements may help doctors use ventilation (breathing assistance) more safely during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–65 years
- Planned elective (scheduled, non-emergency) laparoscopic abdominal surgery under general anesthesia
- Good overall health with no serious heart or lung disease (ASA status I or II)
- No chronic lung conditions like COPD or restrictive lung disease
- BMI of 35 kg/m² or lower (not in the morbidly obese category)
- Not pregnant

This study compares two ways of ventilating (helping breathe) children during surgery to see which one keeps lungs healthier. It uses special monitoring to guide the settings.
This trial is testing if using less air pressure from the breathing machine during abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications. If you are at higher risk for breathing problems after surgery, this study may help find a safer way to manage your breathing during the operation.
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 checks how your breathing effort changes with different levels of breathing support from the ventilator after major abdominal surgery. It helps doctors find the best settings to help you breathe comfortably while you recover.
