Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to describe the magnitude of respiratory complications after laparoscopic hysterectomy and cholecystectomy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to describe change in pulmonary function and incidence of respiratory complications after laparoscopic surgery.

The investigators will include 60 women scheduled for laparoscopic hysterectomy or cholecystectomy. The investigators will measure the pulmonary function by different methods during and for 2 hours after surgery. Moreover, the incidence of respiratory complications including pneumonia, respiratory failure and radiologically verified atelectasis will be registered.
