NCT ID NCT06307704

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether using a lung ultrasound during robotic prostate or bladder surgery can help doctors set the breathing machine to the right pressure, reducing lung collapse and other breathing problems. 88 adults with mild or no lung disease are enrolled. The approach is fast, easy, and cheap, but it's still being tested to see if it works better than standard care.

What this could mean

Active substance

Lung ultrasound-guided PEEP adjustment

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a simple, low-cost way to reduce lung complications after robotic prostate or bladder surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 88 participants. The technique may not improve outcomes or could be difficult to use in practice.
