Effect of airway pressure changes on lung function after abdominal muscle tightening

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.
