This study compares different types of general anesthesia by checking how your pupils (the black part of the eye) respond after surgery. It may help doctors understand which anesthesia options are better for eye-related side effects after planned ear, nose, or throat operations.
This study measures how lying face-down during lumbar disc surgery affects your breathing and the oxygen levels in your brain. The researchers want to see if this position is safe and how it changes blood flow and oxygen to your brain during the operation.
This study measures the pressure inside your eye while you are lying face down during back surgery. It helps understand how this position affects eye pressure, which is important for your safety.
This study tests whether your body position during recovery from sedated endoscopy (a camera procedure to examine your stomach and colon) affects your oxygen levels. The researchers want to find the best recovery position to keep your oxygen levels stable and safe.
This study tests whether changing your head and body position helps with breathing mask ventilation before surgery in people with obesity.
This study compares two different levels of breathing support (called PEEP) during spine surgery while you lie on your stomach. The goal is to see which level keeps your lungs working better during the operation.
