Customizing breathing machines during surgery may help lungs recover faster
NCT ID NCT07345650
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adjusting the breathing machine's pressure to each patient during laparoscopic bariatric surgery can prevent lung collapse and improve oxygen levels. Forty adults with obesity will be randomly assigned to either a fixed pressure or a pressure tailored to their lung stiffness. Researchers will measure lung function during and after surgery using ultrasound and blood tests.
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) via ventilator
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple way to reduce lung complications after weight-loss surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study with only 40 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefit may be small or not seen at all.
