Diaphragm movement and oxygen levels after gallbladder surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for a laparoscopic gallbladder removal (keyhole surgery), not an emergency.
- You are not severely overweight (BMI under 40).
- You do not have severe lung disease or use oxygen or breathing machines at home.
- You can have an ultrasound of your diaphragm and can cooperate with the measurements.

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 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.
This study looks at how different pain relief methods after major abdominal surgery affect the diaphragm, a muscle that helps you breathe. It may help doctors choose the best way to manage pain while protecting your breathing.
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 study watches patients after major surgery to see which factors may increase the chance of needing a breathing tube again. It helps doctors better predict and prevent breathing problems in the intensive care unit.
This trial uses ultrasound (a non-painful scanning method) to measure how well the diaphragm works around the time of surgery. It aims to learn whether diaphragm changes during surgery relate to breathing problems, especially in people undergoing abdominal, pelvic, or vascular operations.
