NCT ID NCT07306845
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will check if certain blood measurements (CO₂ and lactate levels) can predict complications after Whipple surgery, a complex operation on the pancreas and bile ducts. Researchers will monitor 120 adults during surgery and track their recovery. The goal is to find early warning signs of problems like leaks or delayed stomach emptying.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a simple, early way to spot patients at risk of complications after Whipple surgery, potentially improving care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks for patterns, so it cannot prove that using these markers actually improves outcomes.
