Breathing machine before surgery may cut lung risks
NCT ID NCT07461285
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving patients extra breathing support (positive pressure ventilation) before, during, and after high-risk abdominal surgery can reduce lung complications like pneumonia or respiratory failure. About 206 adults aged 18 to 90 who are scheduled for major abdominal surgery will take part. The goal is to see if this simple approach can help people recover faster and avoid serious lung issues.
