Fluid management during head and neck cancer surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific way of giving fluids during surgery (called goal-directed fluid therapy) can improve recovery after head and neck cancer surgery. It involves having a small tube in your artery to closely watch your blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You are scheduled for head and neck cancer surgery (not for thyroid cancer) that is expected to last at least 2 hours.
- You agree to have an arterial line (a small tube in your wrist) to monitor your blood pressure during surgery.
- You do not have severe heart failure, very low heart pumping function, or atrial fibrillation.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not having emergency surgery.

This study examines how blood flow changes in tiny vessels under the tongue during a specific type of fluid management strategy in patients undergoing stomach cancer surgery. Researchers hope this information may help improve surgical outcomes and patient safety.
This trial compares three different approaches to guiding fluid management during major abdominal cancer surgery. The goal is to find the best way to maintain stable blood pressure and organ function during the procedure.
This trial tests whether carefully controlling the amount of fluids given during and after liver surgery can improve recovery. It may help patients avoid complications and have better outcomes after their operation.
This study tests a new way to monitor your body's fluid levels during lung surgery, especially for patients who are at higher risk for complications. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce problems after surgery.
