First seen Jan 18, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study compares two ways of setting the ventilator during laparoscopic bariatric surgery in 40 adults with obesity. One group gets a fixed pressure, the other gets a pressure tailored to their lungs. Researchers check oxygen levels, lung ultrasound scores, and breathing complications after surgery. The goal is to see if personalized settings reduce lung collapse and improve recovery.
