Oxygen levels after surgery: Obese vs. non-obese patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares oxygen levels after gallbladder surgery in patients with and without obesity. It uses the STOP-BANG test to screen for sleep apnea and helps find if weight affects breathing right after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You agree to take part
- You are having planned gallbladder removal with a small camera (laparoscopic cholecystectomy), tilted head-up 30 degrees
- You are in good health or have mild to moderate health conditions (ASA I-III)
- Your surgery lasts less than 3 hours

This study looks at how different pain relief methods affect oxygen levels after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you are having this planned procedure and are otherwise healthy (no serious lung or heart issues), you may be able to take part.
This study looks at a simple breathing test (ROX index) done before weight-loss surgery to predict if you might need extra oxygen afterward. It includes patients having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.
This study checks how gallbladder surgery affects your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) and your oxygen levels. If you qualify, you will have an ultrasound of your diaphragm before and after the procedure.
This trial tests if different oxygen levels before removing a breathing tube after abdominal surgery can prevent low oxygen levels in the recovery room. It may help patients avoid breathing problems after waking up.
This study tests whether using a mask and high-flow oxygen together before anesthesia can help obese patients get more oxygen into their lungs before surgery. It may reduce the risk of low oxygen levels during the start of anesthesia.
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen during recovery from general anesthesia changes how you breathe after surgery. You may be offered different oxygen levels around the time you wake up to see what helps your breathing most comfortably.
