Brain blood flow and confusion after surgery study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years or older.
- You are having a non-heart surgery, like vascular, liver, or spine surgery.
- You will need general anesthesia and a special blood pressure line (arterial line) for monitoring.
- You speak English.
- Your thinking and memory are generally okay (MoCA score of 10 or more).
- You do not have major vision problems.
- Your surgery is not an emergency.
- You have not had a stroke in the last 3 months.

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 study uses a special brain-wave monitor during your surgery to see if it can predict confusion or memory problems afterward. It may help you and your doctors better understand your recovery.
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 studies whether tailoring anesthesia and monitoring the brain’s blood-flow control during heart surgery can improve neurological outcomes (brain-related function and recovery). It may help by guiding anesthesia in a more individualized way and checking how well the brain is protected during the operation.
This trial measures brain signals to see if they can predict confusion (delirium) after surgery. It may help identify patients at higher risk so they can get extra care.
This study uses brain monitoring and artificial intelligence to predict whether patients might experience confusion (delirium) after heart valve surgery. This could help doctors provide better care and prevent this common complication.
