Comparing breathing machine settings during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares different ways of using a breathing machine during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It looks at how much pressure is put on the lungs to find the safest and most effective method for people having this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how well a breathing machine can work with your body during gallbladder surgery, and whether this helps doctors use fewer muscle-relaxing medications and feel more satisfied with the procedure.
This trial looks at a part of breathing machines called 'dead space' in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to learn more about how the lungs work during controlled breathing.
This trial reviews breathing settings used during surgery on one lung to see if a specific tool can help prevent breathing problems.
This trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during chest surgery: flow-controlled ventilation and volume-controlled ventilation. The goal is to see which method works better for oxygen and lung protection while one lung is temporarily deflated.
