Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 20 to 50 years with ASA physical status classification I who are scheduled for abdominoplasty with muscle plication.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with anemia, bleeding disorders, cardiovascular issues, or respiratory diseases may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study evaluates how changes in peak airway pressure during surgery affect postoperative pulmonary function in patients undergoing muscle plication as part of an abdominoplasty. The focus is on individuals with significant separation of the recti muscles, where the surgical procedure involves removing excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal wall muscles. By monitoring intraoperative airway pressure, the study aims to provide insights into its impact on recovery and lung function post-surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve postoperative care and outcomes for patients undergoing abdominoplasty.
How similar studies have gone: While similar studies on airway pressure and pulmonary function exist, this specific approach focusing on muscle plication during abdominoplasty is relatively novel.
