What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study

Summary

This study looks at a new way to help patients breathe during robotic surgery. The goal is to see if this method is safer and reduces lung problems after surgery, like shortness of breath or coughing. About 100 adults having robotic surgery will take part. The approach uses a special ventilation technique that may be gentler on the lungs than current methods.
