Ultrasound reveals hidden airway risk in routine gallbladder surgery
NCT ID NCT07021482
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether the air pressure used in the belly during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery can cause swelling in the airway. 66 adults having planned gallbladder surgery were randomly assigned to either a lower or standard belly pressure. Researchers used ultrasound to measure airway tissue thickness before and after the procedure to see if higher pressure leads to more swelling.
