U.S., Jan. 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07349784) titled 'Automated Intraoperative Lung Recruitment Maneuvers in Major Laparoscopic Surgery' on Dec. 12, 2025.
Brief Summary: Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is associated with an increased risk of intraoperative atelectasis due to pneumoperitoneum, Trendelenburg positioning, and prolonged anesthesia duration. Atelectasis developing during surgery may persist into the postoperative period and contribute to postoperative pulmonary complications. Automated lung recruitment maneuvers delivered by modern anesthesia ventilators may offer a standardized method to improve lung aeration and reduce atelectasis. This prospective, randomized, single-cen...
