Intraoperative Peak Airway Pressure Changes on Postoperative Pulmonary Function After Muscle Plication

Effects of Intraoperative Peak Airway Pressure Changes on Postoperative Pulmonary Function After Muscle Plication in Abdominoplasty Operations: A Randomized Double-Blind Trial

Sponsor

Al-Azhar University

Enrollment

120 participants

Start Date

Mar 10, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome

Summary

An abdominal panniculus excision procedure is known as an abdominoplasty (panniculectomy). Musculofascial plication is a crucial aspect of abdominoplasty, especially for patients with significant divarication of the recti muscles. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of intraoperative changes in peak airway pressure (PAP) after muscle plication on postoperative pulmonary function.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is examining how tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty with muscle tightening, called plication) affects breathing during and after the operation. Tightening the abdominal muscles can temporarily affect how the lungs work, and this study measures those changes in lung function. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 20 and 50 years old - You are in good general health (ASA physical status Class I — no significant medical problems) - You are scheduled for a tummy tuck with abdominal muscle plication **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have anemia (hemoglobin below 11 g/dL) - You have a bleeding disorder - You have a heart or lung condition - Your abdominoplasty does not include muscle plication Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
