Doctors probe hidden link between belly pressure and brain signals during Weight-Loss surgery
NCT ID NCT03707054
Summary
This study aimed to understand how increased pressure in the abdomen during laparoscopic weight-loss surgery affects pressure in the brain and the function of the kidneys. Researchers measured hormone levels, urine output, and brain pressure indicators in 16 patients undergoing surgery. The goal was to learn how the body compensates for these pressure changes, which could help manage similar conditions in critically ill patients.
