Oxygen levels after gallbladder surgery: does body size matter?
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study checks how well oxygen levels hold up after gallbladder surgery in people with different body sizes. It looks at whether a simple sleep-apnea risk score (called STOP-BANG) helps predict who might need extra oxygen after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You are having (or had) a laparoscopic gallbladder removal done with you tilted head-up at a 30-degree angle.
- You are in good general health (ASA I–III) and the surgery is expected to take less than 3 hours.
- You do not have asthma, COPD, or any known chronic lung disease.
- You are willing to give your consent to participate.

This study looks at how different pain relief methods during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery affect your oxygen levels after the operation. It aims to find which pain management approach helps you breathe better and recover more comfortably.
This study checks how your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) moves after gallbladder surgery and whether it affects your oxygen levels. It may help improve recovery after surgery.
This study looks at whether a simple breathing measurement taken before weight-loss surgery can help predict if you might have low oxygen levels after surgery. If you are already scheduled for this type of surgery, participating may help doctors improve care for future patients.
This trial tests how the amount of oxygen given before removing the breathing tube after abdominal surgery affects oxygen levels after the tube is removed. It may help prevent low oxygen levels while you recover in the post-anesthesia care unit.
This study tests a more guided oxygen plan during long major abdominal operations to help manage how much oxygen your body uses. It compares the new oxygen approach to the current standard method during surgery.
This trial tests whether a lower or higher oxygen concentration during surgery can help protect lung function in older adults. It focuses on people 65 and older having laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery.
