Lung ultrasound study tests breathing trick to keep lungs open after surgery
NCT ID NCT07324122
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a special breathing maneuver during gallbladder surgery can reduce lung collapse (atelectasis) after the operation. Researchers used lung ultrasound to check lung aeration in 80 adults before and after surgery. The goal was to gather information, not to test a new drug or treatment.
