ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how different levels of pressure in the lungs, called PEEP, affect the optic nerve sheath diameter during laparoscopic surgery for cholecystitis, which is inflammation of the gallbladder. The optic nerve sheath is a protective covering around the optic nerve, and measuring its size with ultrasound can help doctors monitor changes in pressure inside the skull. This study aims to see if adjusting PEEP can help keep the pressure stable during surgery, which is important for patient safety.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old and in generally good health. However, individuals with certain conditions like eye diseases, uncontrolled high blood pressure, asthma, or a high body mass index (BMI) over 35 are not eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to have your optic nerve sheath measured during the surgery, which is a simple and non-invasive process. This research is still in the planning stages and has not yet begun recruiting participants, but it could provide valuable insights into improving surgical care.
