Breathing better under the knife: study tests lung support in obesity surgery
NCT ID NCT07629102
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 53 obese patients having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss surgery) to compare two ways of helping them breathe during the operation. One group received standard ventilation support, while the other got a stronger support with higher pressure and extra lung-opening maneuvers. The goal was to see which method kept oxygen levels better and improved breathing after surgery. The findings help doctors choose the best breathing strategy for obese patients during this common procedure.
