Tracking carbon dioxide in laparoscopic surgery
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery where you will be tilted head-down (Trendelenburg position).
- You will have an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) for monitoring blood pressure as part of your regular care.
- You do not have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a long-term lung condition).
- You do not have pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs).
- You do not have an active infection affecting your whole body.

This trial tests a special nose monitor that measures carbon dioxide during awakening from anesthesia. It may help prevent low oxygen levels in older adults recovering from abdominal surgery.
This study compares different breathing machine settings during laparoscopic (belly button) surgery to see how they affect pressure inside the skull and blood flow to the brain. If you're having surgery in a head-down or head-up position, this trial might help doctors choose safer breathing methods.
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.
This trial tests a personalized approach to setting ventilator pressure during laparoscopic abdominal surgery, using a special imaging belt to monitor lung function. It aims to reduce breathing complications after surgery, especially for patients at higher risk.
This study checks if a noninvasive device that measures carbon dioxide (CO2) in your breath can accurately track CO2 changes in your blood during surgery where only one lung is ventilated. The goal is to see if it can replace frequent blood tests.
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.
