Monitoring during craniosynostosis surgery: comparing newer vs. traditional monitors
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares two types of monitors that track your baby's heart and blood flow during surgery to fix craniosynostosis. The goal is to see if a newer monitor works as well as the traditional one.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be between 3 and 8 months old.
- Your baby has been diagnosed with craniosynostosis and is scheduled for corrective surgery.
- Your baby should not have heart problems, metabolic diseases, or be born before 30 weeks.
- Your baby must weigh at least 3 kg (about 6.6 pounds).
- The medical monitors used during surgery must be working correctly and not blocked or dislocated.

This study uses a special light-based monitor (NIRS) to track blood flow in the brain of premature infants. It compares babies in different conditions related to bleeding, fluid buildup, or other brain fluid changes to help doctors understand what monitoring can show.
This study compares a new noninvasive blood pressure monitoring method to the standard method (using a small tube in your wrist) during brain aneurysm repair surgery. If you join, you may avoid the need for a wrist artery line.
This study checks if a special monitor (called Pleth Variability Index) helps doctors manage fluids better during surgery for children with craniosynostosis. It may lead to safer recovery for your child.
This study checks how well newborn babies’ brains are getting oxygen and how brain activity changes while they have certain major surgeries. It may help doctors better monitor brain safety during surgery in newborns with specific conditions.
This study compares different ways to monitor how well a baby's heart is working during surgery to repair a narrowed aorta (a blood vessel from the heart). Doctors will use special monitoring tools to measure blood flow and oxygen levels to help understand which methods work best.
This study compares two ways of monitoring patients after major surgery: continuous monitoring with a non‑invasive device versus the usual periodic checks. It may help find out which method is better at keeping you safe during recovery.
