New treatment option for Postoperative Pulmonary Complications (PPCs)
Official title PROtective Ventilation With FLOW-Controlled Ventilation
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06703814
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The investigators want to investigate in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (a minimally invasive procedure) how applicable flow-controlled ventilation is, and whether it might also be safer than the current ventilation techniques, as well as its impact on potentially reducing the risk of lung-specific complications. Flow-controlled ventilation has already been tested in several studies on animals and humans and has proven to be a safe form of ventilation for patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.
