Heart function during steep head-down position in robotic surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how your heart performs during robotic surgery when you are placed in a steep head-down position. It may help doctors better understand how to keep you safe during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for robotic surgery that will be done with a steep head-down tilt (Trendelenburg position).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You do not have dementia.
- You are able to give written consent.

This study tests a low-pressure breathing method during robot-assisted surgery to see if it helps protect your lungs. It's for adults having abdominal or pelvic surgery expected to last at least 2 hours.
This study measures how well your heart pumps blood after heart surgery while you're lying flat or on your stomach. Researchers want to find the best body position for accurate heart monitoring in patients recovering from bypass surgery.
This study compares how well your heart and lungs work after heart bypass or valve replacement surgery done with standard methods versus robotic-assisted methods. It uses a breathing/heart exercise test during recovery to see which approach helps people function better.
This study measures blood flow in the brain while you are in different positions during robotic prostate surgery. It aims to understand how your body handles the steep head-down position used in this type of surgery.
This study looks at a way to measure pressure in the esophagus (the tube from your mouth to your stomach) during robotic chest surgery to improve how your lungs are ventilated (given air) and reduce breathing problems. It may help if you are having robotic chest surgery with capnothorax.
This study tests whether personalized breathing machine settings during robot-assisted prostate surgery can help keep blood flow steady in the brain, which may protect brain function during and after the procedure.
