NCT ID NCT07494240
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adjusting ventilator pressure during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy can improve lung function and reduce breathing complications. Forty-six obese patients will receive either individualized pressure settings or a fixed setting. The goal is to see if the tailored approach helps lungs work better during and after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
individualized positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) adjustment
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a safer ventilation strategy for obese patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, potentially reducing lung complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 46 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is a temporary ventilator setting, not a treatment for a disease.
