Comparison Between Low Pressure Versus High Pressure Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	Sterling Hospital
Information provided by:	Sterling Hospital
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00606762

Purpose

The physiological changes and postoperative pain are directly related with the degree of intra-abdominal pressure kept during the laparoscopy. The present study aims to examine difference between low pressure pneumoperitoneum (8 mm Hg)and High pressure pneumoperitoneum (12 mm Hg)during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in terms of pain, cardio-pulmonary function, arterial blood gas changes etc.

Study Design:	Health Services Research, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Outcomes Assessor), Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:	A Prospective Randomized, Controlled Study Comparing Low Pressure Versus High Pressure Pneumoperitoneum During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
