İn This Study, Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery Will be Divided Into Two Groups. The Control Group Will Receive Normal-flow, While the Study Group Will Receive Low-flow Inhalational Anesthesia. The Aim is to Compare the Incidence of Postop Atelectasis-between the Two Groups Using USG Evaluation

ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how different types of anesthesia—specifically low-flow versus normal-flow inhalational anesthesia—affect the development of lung problems called atelectasis after weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery). Atelectasis means parts of the lungs don’t fully expand, which can make breathing harder after surgery. To find out which anesthesia method is better, doctors will use painless and safe lung ultrasounds (a type of scan) and breathing tests before and after the surgery to check lung health.
If you are between 18 and 65 years old, scheduled for a specific type of weight-loss surgery called sleeve gastrectomy, and have a certain level of overall health (ASA III), you might be eligible to join. People with serious lung diseases, uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes, or other major health problems won’t be able to participate. The study involves no extra risks beyond the usual surgery and care, and no invasive procedures will be done. This trial will help doctors understand the best anesthesia approach to reduce lung complications after bariatric surgery.
