Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are obese patients who are scheduled for bariatric surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to spirometry testing or those with certain acute medical conditions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study assesses how different inhalational anesthetics affect lung function in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. It aims to measure lung function before anesthesia induction and after awakening, comparing the effects of sevoflurane to intravenous anesthetics. The study will include patients who are qualified for bariatric surgery and will exclude those with certain medical conditions that prevent spirometry testing. By understanding the impact of anesthetic choice on pulmonary function, the study seeks to improve postoperative outcomes for these patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved anesthetic practices that enhance lung function recovery in obese patients after bariatric surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have indicated that the choice of anesthetic can influence lung function, suggesting that this approach has potential based on existing evidence.

Inclusion Criteria: * Obese patients qualified for bariatric surgery. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who have absolute contraindications to spirometry testing, i.e: * with aneurysms of the aorta or cerebral arteries threatening to rupture, after recent vascular surgery * with increased intracranial pressure, after recent intracranial bleeding or head surgery within the cranial cavity * after acute conditions within 6 months prior to surgery such as stroke, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, pneumothorax * with uncontrolled hypertension * after recent eye surgery or a history of retinal detachment * with hemoptysis of unknown etiology. And patients unable to perform spirometry testing
