Using brain monitoring during gallbladder surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study checks whether a special brain-monitoring device (entropy monitoring) can help anesthesiologists give just the right amount of anesthesia during gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to see if this leads to using less anesthesia and a faster recovery after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in good health overall (classified as ASA I or II by your anesthesiologist).
- You are scheduled to have your gallbladder removed through small incisions (laparoscopic surgery) under general anesthesia.
- You do not have conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, asthma, or a history of stroke.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is below 30.
- You are not pregnant, and you do not have a history of alcohol or sedative abuse.

This study looks at how three different sedative medicines affect brain activity in patients having gallbladder surgery. The results could help doctors choose better anesthesia and improve monitoring during surgery.
This study compares two devices that measure how well your muscles recover from anesthesia during gallbladder surgery. It may help doctors choose the best way to ensure your muscles are working normally before you wake up.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia during gallbladder removal surgery. It checks which one keeps more oxygen flowing to your brain during the operation, which may help guide safer anesthesia choices.
This study looks at how matching the breathing machine to your own breathing affect the amount of muscle relaxant medicine you need during gallbladder removal surgery, and how the surgeon's working conditions are affected. If you are having this surgery and are in decent health, you might be able to join.
This study compares two different anesthetic gases (sevoflurane and desflurane) to see how they affect your body's chemistry during gallbladder removal surgery. It aims to understand which gas may be better for your recovery.
This study tests two different levels of anaesthesia gas flow during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery to see how they affect your blood pressure and heart rate. If you are having this surgery, participating might help improve how anaesthesia is given during similar procedures.
