Ventilator settings during abdominal surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how different ventilator settings affect patients during abdominal surgery. It may help doctors improve breathing support during operations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for abdominal surgery (with or without small incisions).
- Your surgery is expected to last at least 2 hours.
- You are not already on a breathing machine for more than 12 hours before surgery.
- You do not have severe chronic lung disease that requires oxygen or breathing support at home.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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.
This study looks at how different ventilator settings during heart surgery affect lung complications afterward. It aims to find the safest way to support breathing during 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 study is testing how different ventilator settings (the machine that breathes for you during surgery) affect your lungs after surgery. They will use ultrasound to check for lung problems in the first 2 hours after surgery to see which setting is best for recovery.
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.
