Clinical Trial: Trendelenburg Angle and Upper Airway Ultrasound Findings in Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

U.S., Sept. 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07794917) titled 'Trendelenburg Angle and Upper Airway Ultrasound Findings in Laparoscopic Hysterectomy' on Aug. 27.

Brief Summary: This observational study was designed to evaluate whether the Trendelenburg position used during laparoscopic hysterectomy is associated with swelling of the upper airway.

Women scheduled for elective laparoscopic hysterectomy under general anesthesia were included. During surgery, the angle of the operating table in the Trendelenburg position was measured. The upper airway was assessed with bedside ultrasound by measuring the distance from the skin to the epiglottis and the thickness of the tongue at different time poi...
