A Phase 2 interventional study of Alveolar recruitement and Standard PEEP in Postoperative Respiratory Complications, sponsored by Asklepieion Voulas General Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Greece. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-02-19.

Patients ASA I-III, undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery will be randomly assigned, into one of two groups, namely group C-PEEP , that will be the control group ; and group I-PEEP, where alveolar recruitment maneuvres will take place in order to identify each patient\'s individualized optimal PEEP. All patients will receive a standardized anesthesia regimen. The lung ultrasound score will be evaluated in all patients in the PACU and then respiratory complications will be recorded on the 24th hour, 48th hour, 7th day and 30the day, postoperatively.
Asklepieion Voulas General Hospital is the lead sponsor of 13 studies on the registry; 1 is open to participants now.

Laparoscopic abdominal surgery
Exclusion Criteria:
Severe kidney dysfunction Severe hepatic dysfunction Severe respiratory disease Severe cardiac disease Severe neuromuscular disease >30 Severe intraoperative hemorrage Severe intraoperative hemodynamic instability
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
