Lung-protective ventilation for stomach removal surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a type of breathing support during surgery to remove the stomach (gastrectomy) that may protect the lungs. It aims to see if this approach reduces complications and helps patients recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are scheduled for elective laparoscopic gastrectomy, and the surgery is expected to last more than 3 hours.
- Your physical status is classified as ASA I to III by the anesthesiologist (meaning you are generally healthy or have mild to moderate systemic disease).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 30 kg/m².
- You do not have diabetes (gestational or chronic), high blood pressure (gestational or chronic), or a known allergy to dexamethasone.
- You are not currently on long-term corticosteroid therapy.

This study tests a personalized way of ventilating (breathing support) the lungs during chest surgery to see if it reduces breathing problems after surgery. It may help patients recover more smoothly after a minimally invasive chest operation.
This study tests different ways of setting breathing support during open-heart surgery to reduce lung complications after surgery. It may help improve recovery by protecting your lungs while you are on the heart-lung machine.
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 trial tests a computer-controlled method to open collapsed lung parts during laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to improve breathing and reduce complications after surgery.
