Predictors of complications in laparoscopic surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at factors that may predict complications after laparoscopic surgery (minimally invasive surgery with a camera) when the patient is tilted head-down (Trendelenburg position). It focuses on surgeries lasting longer than 2 hours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult with an ASA physical status classification of I to IV (generally healthy to very ill).
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic surgery (keyhole surgery) while tilted head-down (Trendelenburg) for more than 2 hours.
- Your doctor plans to place an arterial line (a small tube in an artery to monitor blood pressure closely).
- You are not pregnant.
- You are not on dialysis for kidney failure (renal replacement therapy).

This study looks at how closely two ways of measuring carbon dioxide levels match during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery when you are tilted with your head down. It may help doctors better monitor your breathing during these procedures.
This study tests different techniques during laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery to help reduce pain and discomfort afterward. Researchers want to find the best ways to make recovery easier for patients having routine belly or pelvic procedures.
This study tests how well a non-invasive blood pressure cuff matches the readings from an arterial line during laparoscopic surgery where you are tilted head-down. It looks for people who are already having this type of surgery with an arterial line.
This study looks at patients who've had major abdominal, bone, or blood-vessel surgery to understand what factors make some people more likely to have complications afterward. It analyzes information already collected from hospitals to help doctors better predict and prevent problems.
This study looks at how well minimally-invasive surgeries (like laparoscopy) go by reviewing what happens during the operation. It aims to improve surgical safety and outcomes.
This study follows people after planned, higher-risk surgery to learn what complications happen and how patients do long-term. It may help doctors predict risks and improve care for people having similar operations.
