Oxygen monitoring during minimally invasive kidney removal surgery
This study tests a new way to monitor oxygen levels in your blood during laparoscopic kidney removal surgery (a minimally invasive procedure using small cuts and a camera). Researchers want to see if this monitoring method works well when using different amounts of anesthesia gas.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18–75 years old
- You are in good overall health (ASA Class I or II—your doctor will confirm this)
- You are having elective laparoscopic nephrectomy (planned kidney removal via small incisions)
- Your BMI is 35 or lower
- You do not have serious lung or breathing disease
- You are not taking medications that affect blood circulation to your skin or extremities
