Lung pressure and brain pressure study for cranial surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how different breathing settings during surgery affect pressure inside the brain for people having planned (non-emergency) brain surgery. It may help doctors choose safer ways to manage breathing during your procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a planned (elective) brain surgery.
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health conditions (classified as ASA I-III).
- You do not have a history of high pressure inside the brain.
- You do not have severe lung disease like asthma or COPD.
- Your surgery is not an emergency.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study measures pressure inside the skull (intracranial pressure) in adults with serious problems in the back part of the brain. Doctors want to better understand pressure patterns in emergencies like bleeding, tumors, or stroke-related injuries, which may help guide treatment.
This study tests a non-invasive way to monitor pressure inside the skull during brain tumor surgery. It may help guide treatment without the need for invasive monitors.
This study is testing a new way to measure pressure inside the skull without needing a separate procedure. It may be an option for people having brain surgery, getting spinal taps, or needing their VP shunt adjusted.
This study looks at how different ways of breathing support during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery affect pressure inside the head and blood flow to the brain, depending on the tilted position you're in. It aims to find the safest breathing method for your brain during surgery.
This study looks at how blood pressure medicines affect blood flow to the brain during general anesthesia for planned surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better manage care during operations.
This study tests a new way to estimate pressure inside the skull without extra needles or surgery. It uses a soft mask and ultrasound to measure pressure at a vein near the eye, aiming to find a safer alternative for people who already have a standard brain-pressure monitor in place.
