Oxygen monitoring to prevent memory issues after shoulder surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether closely watching oxygen levels in the brain during shoulder surgery can reduce the chance of temporary memory and thinking problems afterward in older adults. It may help improve recovery for people at risk for POCD, a type of post-surgery cognitive (thinking) change.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for elective (planned) shoulder arthroscopy under general anesthesia plus a nerve block for the arm.
- You are in overall good health for surgery (ASA grade III or lower).
- You can communicate normally and complete short memory/thinking tests.
- You must have agreed to take part and sign informed consent.
- Your BMI is between 18 and 27.
- You should not have a history of dementia, psychosis, or other major brain/mental conditions (like stroke or Parkinson’s).

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.
This study tests whether giving ibuprofen through a vein during lung surgery (when only one lung is used for breathing) can help keep oxygen levels in the brain stable and reduce confusion or memory problems afterward.
This study looks at how blood pressure and brain oxygen levels during heart surgery might help us predict recovery. If you are having heart surgery, your participation could help doctors understand how to improve care.
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.
This study looks at how giving extra oxygen during surgery affects brain function and confusion (delirium) in older adults. It involves placing a small sensor on your forehead to measure brain oxygen levels.
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.
