Near-infrared brain scan during planned heart surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-painful near-infrared brain scan (placed on the forehead) during planned adult heart surgery. It may help doctors better understand how the brain responds during surgery and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 years or older) having heart surgery
- Your surgery must be planned (elective), not an emergency
- You must be able to have the scan sensor placed on your head/forehead
- Any skin problems on your head/forehead that prevent the scan are a reason you cannot join
- You must be willing and able to sign written consent to take part

This trial tests a bedside brain-monitoring method (near-infrared light and EEG) in people who are unconscious after severe brain injury from cardiac arrest. The goal is to see whether it can help measure brain function during the first week after admission.
This trial monitors brain oxygen levels during shoulder surgeries done in a beach chair (semi-sitting) position under general anesthesia. It helps doctors understand how well the brain gets oxygen during these surgeries.
This trial uses a special light-based sensor on the forehead to measure oxygen levels in the brain after a cardiac arrest. The goal is to see if this measurement can help predict how well the brain will recover.
This study tests whether a special infrared sensor on the forehead can help doctors predict how children recover from surgery. It may lead to better care and faster recovery for young patients.
This study uses a special light-based sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) and artificial intelligence to monitor brain oxygen levels during open heart surgery. It aims to improve safety and early detection of brain-related complications.
This trial uses brain monitoring during heart surgery to try to prevent post-surgery confusion or memory problems. It may help if you are having valve repair or bypass surgery.
