Can weight and sleep apnea predict Post-Surgery oxygen problems?
NCT ID NCT07401589
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study will track 100 adults having laparoscopic gallbladder surgery to see how body mass index, sleep apnea risk, and pain relief methods relate to oxygen levels right after surgery. No extra treatments are given—just routine care. The goal is to better understand what raises the risk of low oxygen after surgery.
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 study could help doctors better predict and prevent low oxygen levels after surgery, improving patient safety.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with no intervention, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other surgeries or patient groups.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients aged 18 years and older with ASA physical status I-III who undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the reverse Trendelenburg position. All participants provide written informed consent. Patients with significant respiratory or cardiovascular comorbidities, emergency surgery, or perioperative respiratory complications are excluded.
