Tiny lung puffs during surgery could speed recovery
NCT ID NCT07239557
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests how often doctors should give a brief lung inflation (called a recruitment maneuver) during abdominal laparoscopic surgery to keep the lungs open. Fifty-two older adults having elective surgery will receive these puffs at different intervals, starting every 30 minutes. The goal is to find the timing that works for 90% of patients, reducing lung collapse and complications after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a standard breathing technique during surgery to reduce lung collapse and speed up recovery after abdominal operations.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The procedure itself carries minor risks like temporary changes in blood pressure or oxygen levels.
