Custom lung protection during surgery may reduce Post-Op collapse

NCT ID NCT07602543

First seen Jun 08, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study compares two ways of setting the breathing machine during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery to prevent lung collapse (atelectasis). One method uses a standard fixed pressure, while the other adjusts the pressure to each patient's lung mechanics. The researchers will use lung ultrasound to check for collapse before surgery, 1 hour after, and 24 hours after. The goal is to see which approach keeps the lungs healthier 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

personalized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during mechanical ventilation

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a simple way to prevent lung collapse after surgery, improving recovery for many patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (72 people) looking at ultrasound scores, not long-term outcomes. The personalized method may not prove better than standard care.
