This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing how two different inhaled anesthesia medications — desflurane and sevoflurane — affect your lungs after weight loss surgery. Researchers know that anesthesia can temporarily reduce lung function, but they want to find out whether one medication causes less lung damage than the other in people with obesity undergoing surgery.
After any surgery requiring anesthesia, lung function temporarily decreases. Past research suggests that one type of inhaled anesthetic may be gentler on the lungs than another, but this hasn't been thoroughly tested in people with obesity having weight loss surgery.

You likely don't qualify if…
You will undergo weight loss surgery as planned, but your anesthesia team will use either desflurane or sevoflurane as your inhaled anesthetic. Before your surgery and after you wake up, you'll complete simple breathing tests (spirometry) to measure how well your lungs are working. The breathing tests are quick and non-invasive — you simply breathe into a machine that measures air flow. Your participation ends after these measurements are taken on the day of surgery.
