Monitoring carbon dioxide during laparoscopic surgery
This study checks how well a breathing monitor matches blood carbon dioxide levels during laparoscopic surgery, where you are tilted head-down. It aims to improve monitoring of your breathing during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic surgery with your body tilted head-down (Trendelenburg position).
- Your surgery will include a small tube in your wrist artery to closely monitor your blood pressure.
- You do not have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary hypertension, or an active infection.

This study tests whether a special breathing monitor that clips onto the nose (called EtCO2) can help reduce low oxygen levels during waking up from anesthesia after abdominal surgery in older adults. It could help ensure you breathe safely during recovery.
This study checks whether a device that measures carbon dioxide in your breath (capnography) can reliably reflect the carbon dioxide level in your blood during lung surgery when only one lung is being used. This could help doctors monitor you more safely without extra blood tests.
This study tests a new portable device that measures the carbon dioxide (CO2) you breathe out while on a breathing tube during surgery. The goal is to see if this device works as well as the standard monitors, which could make monitoring safer and easier in the future.
This study looks at how your body responds during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, when your abdomen is filled with carbon dioxide gas. It checks your blood, blood pressure, breathing, and other vital signs at different times during the operation.
This study compares two different ways of controlling breathing machines during laparoscopic (minimally invasive) abdominal cancer surgery. Researchers want to see which method keeps your heart and blood flow stable and protects your lungs during surgery.
This study checks how well a simple arm cuff (non-invasive blood pressure monitoring) works compared to a more direct method using a small tube in an artery during laparoscopic surgery in a head-down position. The findings could help make blood pressure monitoring more accurate and comfortable for future patients.
