Mechanical Ventilation in Obese Surgical Patients (NCT07774065)
Minimizing Post-Operative Pulmonary Complications in Patients With a BMI =35 kg/m2 Undergoing Robotic-Assisted or Conventional Laparoscopic Surgery
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether an intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressures (PEEP) setting strategy aimed at minimizing the mechanical power delivered to the lungs via transpulmonary pressure improves postoperative outcomes in obese patients undergoing conventional laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery. The objectives are to determine whether this strategy reduces immediate postoperative hypoxemia, and to assess whether it mitigates lung injury as reflected by relevant blood biomarkers.
