Cerebral oxygen checks to lower confusion after carotid surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether monitoring oxygen levels in the brain during carotid endarterectomy (a surgery to reduce stroke risk) can help reduce postoperative delirium, a sudden period of confusion after surgery. It may help patients recover more clearly after the operation by identifying risks early and guiding care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a carotid endarterectomy surgery
- You can sign informed consent to join the study

- You should not be taking psychotropic medicines (medicines that affect mood/brain function)
- You have no history of brain surgery in the past
- You can reliably hear/see and communicate in the study language

This study looks at whether monitoring oxygen levels in the brain during carotid artery surgery can help predict or prevent a stroke. If you are having this surgery, researchers want to see if a simple monitor on your forehead can warn the surgical team of trouble.
This study tests a device that measures oxygen levels in your brain during awake carotid surgery. It aims to help doctors watch your brain health in real time and reduce risks during the procedure.
This study uses special monitors to watch for confusion or disorientation (called delirium) after heart surgery. The goal is to detect it early and help you recover more smoothly.
This trial looks at how well the brain controls its own blood flow during non-cardiac surgeries. It aims to see if problems with this regulation are linked to confusion after surgery (delirium).
This study tests a new way to monitor blood flow to the brain during heart surgery. The goal is to see if this can help protect the brain and reduce thinking problems after surgery.
This trial looks at what factors predict new or worsening nerve symptoms after a carotid endarterectomy (a surgery to clear plaque in the neck artery) when done with regional anesthesia. It may help doctors better anticipate and prevent neurologic problems during this procedure.
