Smart anesthesia machine may protect lungs in elderly surgery patients
NCT ID NCT07477951
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using an automatic lung re-expansion feature on anesthesia machines can improve lung function and reduce complications in elderly patients (65+) after laparoscopic surgery. About 58 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the automated lung recruitment or standard care during surgery. The main goal is to measure blood oxygen levels 30 minutes after the breathing tube is removed and track any lung problems in the first 3 days after surgery.
