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 new way to measure how well the right side of the heart pumps blood while you are lying in different positions after heart surgery. It may help doctors assess your recovery more easily.
This study looks at whether a calcium scan of the heart before robotic surgery to remove the esophagus can help predict if a patient will develop an irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation) after surgery. This could help doctors identify patients who need closer monitoring.
This study looks at how blood flow to the brain changes when you are tilted during robotic prostate surgery. It may help doctors understand how to keep patients safe during the procedure.
This study looks at how different breathing machine settings during robotic prostate surgery affect blood flow to the brain. It aims to find the best personalized settings to protect brain health during anesthesia.
This study tests a new way to do heart ultrasounds from a distance, by having a robot copy a specialist's hand movements. If you already need a heart ultrasound, you may be able to get an extra one done remotely, which could help people in remote areas access care.
This study tests a robotic system that helps doctors perform heart stent procedures. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective compared to standard care. Participating may give you access to this new technology.
