Customizing ventilator settings may help obese patients breathe better during spine surgery
NCT ID NCT07388719
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 80 obese adults having spine surgery to see if adjusting the breathing machine based on lung stiffness works better than using a fixed setting. The goal was to improve oxygen levels during surgery and reduce lung complications afterward. Researchers measured oxygen in the blood and checked for breathing problems within 24 hours after surgery.
