Intraoperative Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Changes After Laparoscopic Surgery

Recruiting
18-75 years
Both
Phase N/A

Laparoscopic surgery is a type of surgery that uses small cuts, which means less bleeding and faster recovery. During this surgery, doctors use carbon dioxide (CO2) gas to see better, but it might raise the pressure in your head, called intracranial pressure (ICP). To check this, doctors can use an ultrasound to measure the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), which is a safe and quick way to see if the pressure is too high.

In this study, doctors will measure the ONSD during your surgery using an ultrasound tool. They look at a spot just 3 millimeters behind the eye to get this measurement.

  • Who can join: Adults aged 18-75 having laparoscopic surgery.
  • Study requirements: Measurements will be taken during surgery with no added risk.
  • Exclusions: If you have eye diseases, past eye surgeries, or certain health issues, you can't join.

Participants must meet certain health criteria and cannot have certain eye or brain issues to join the study. 🏥

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
