Summary

This study tests a personalized way to set the breathing machine during laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery to prevent lung complications like pneumonia or respiratory failure. About 118 adults with obesity (BMI 30-55) will be randomly assigned to either standard ventilation or a method guided by electrical impedance tomography (EIT), which creates a real-time image of the lungs. The goal is to see if the EIT-guided approach reduces lung problems within 72 hours after surgery.
