Blood pressure and brain blood flow during anesthesia study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) surgery.
- Your general health is good or fairly good (ASA class 1 to 3).
- You have a healthy body mass index (BMI between 18.5 and 29.9).
- Your memory and thinking are generally fine (MMSE over 23).

This study uses MRI to look at blood flow in the brains of children who are already getting an MRI. It may help doctors understand how anesthesia affects brain blood flow, which could improve care for children in the future.
This study checks how heart function and blood flow change in adults while they receive general anesthesia for surgery. It may help doctors better understand what happens to the heart during anesthesia and adjust care for safety.
This study tests how different blood pressure medicines affect blood flow to the brain and other organs during anesthesia for brain tumor surgery. It aims to find the safest way to keep your brain healthy while you are asleep.
This study looks at how anesthesia changes brain activity using EEG (a non-invasive brain wave recording). Researchers want to see if these changes relate to how conscious you are during surgery. This could help doctors provide safer anesthesia care.
This study tests how a blood-pressure medicine called a vasopressor affects oxygen levels in the brain during general anesthesia for abdominal surgery. It may help patients understand the safest way to manage blood pressure during their operation.
This study looks at whether using general anesthesia (being fully asleep) during carotid surgery affects how well your brain is protected. Researchers will use memory tests and MRI scans to check patients before and after the operation.
