Comparing intubation methods in anesthesia for gallbladder surgery
This study compares two different methods of placing a breathing tube (intubation) during anesthesia for patients having planned gallbladder removal through keyhole surgery. It looks at which method works better and has fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- Your health status is classified as ASA 1, 2, or 3 (generally healthy or mild-to-moderate health concerns).
- You are scheduled for elective gallbladder removal surgery using a laparoscope (keyhole surgery).
- Your anesthesia team does not expect that placing your breathing tube will be difficult.
- You do not have a neurological disorder (like seizures or Parkinson's) or a condition that affects your cognitive function (referred to as 'mental retardation').
- You are willing to take part in the study.

This trial compares two ways of managing your breathing while you are under anesthesia for elective laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It aims to see which option needs less anesthesia and is safer and easier to use for patients like you.
This trial tests two medicines, labetalol and lignocaine, given through a vein to see which better controls blood pressure and heart rate during the tube placed in your windpipe for a routine gallbladder removal surgery.
This study tests three different ways doctors can place a breathing tube for lung surgery. Researchers want to see which method works best and is easiest for patients.
This trial compares two different anesthesia gases (sevoflurane vs. desflurane) during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It measures how each gas affects the pressure on your lungs, to see which might be safer.
This trial compares three different tools doctors use to place a breathing tube during surgery. It will help find which device works best for patients needing routine intubation.
This study compares two different anesthesia drug combinations to see which keeps your brain better oxygenated during laparoscopic (minimally invasive) gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to understand which anesthesia approach may be safer for your brain during this procedure.
