NCT ID NCT04118244

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a lung recruitment maneuver (a brief increase in airway pressure) can help doctors decide if a patient needs more fluids during surgery with protective lung ventilation. 48 adults undergoing abdominal surgery participated. The goal was to see if changes in heart and lung measurements during the maneuver could predict fluid responsiveness.
