Lung opening and breathing pressure effects on brain pressure during brain surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests how a specific breathing technique during brain surgery affects pressure inside the head. It may help doctors safely manage breathing while protecting the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for planned (not emergency) brain surgery.
- Your health status is classified as ASA I, II, or III (relatively healthy or with mild to moderate disease).
- You do not have a known condition of high pressure inside the skull (intracranial hypertension).
- You do not have severe lung disease such as asthma or COPD.

This trial tests a non-invasive way to measure pressure inside the skull during brain tumor surgery. If it works, patients may avoid more invasive pressure monitors.
This study compares different breathing machine settings during laparoscopic (belly button) surgery to see how they affect pressure inside the skull and blood flow to the brain. If you're having surgery in a head-down or head-up position, this trial might help doctors choose safer breathing methods.
This study observes how different levels of breathing support during heart surgery affect your heart's function. Researchers will use ultrasound and monitoring tools already planned for your surgery to see how small changes in breathing pressure impact your heart's performance.
This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during lung surgery to see which one better protects brain health. One method lets you keep breathing on your own, and the other uses a standard tube. This may help reduce confusion or memory problems after surgery.
This study looks at how a breathing machine setting (called PEEP) affects blood flow in the brain. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with a serious brain injury and is on a breathing machine, this trial could help doctors understand how to make breathing therapy safer for the brain.
This study tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
