Brain oxygen changes during spine surgery position shifts
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study measures how your child's brain oxygen levels change when they are repositioned during spine surgery. It may help make surgeries safer for teens and young adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 21 years old
- You are scheduled to have back fusion surgery (posterior spinal fusion)
- Your surgery will use brain and nerve monitoring
- Your surgeon will place a small tube in an artery (arterial line) to track blood pressure and oxygen

This study measures how lying face-down during lumbar disc surgery affects your breathing and the oxygen levels in your brain. The researchers want to see if this position is safe and how it changes blood flow and oxygen to your brain during the operation.
This study checks how well newborn babies’ brains are getting oxygen and how brain activity changes while they have certain major surgeries. It may help doctors better monitor brain safety during surgery in newborns with specific conditions.
This study is looking at whether two devices used during brain aneurysm coiling surgery — one that measures oxygen levels in the brain (NIRS) and one that tracks depth of anesthesia (BIS) — can help doctors monitor patients better and possibly improve safety.
This study tests a non-invasive monitoring device (NIRS) that tracks blood flow to the spinal cord during planned aortic surgery. The goal is to better understand and prevent spinal cord damage that can cause paralysis after major aortic procedures.
This study checks how much oxygen is in your body during anesthesia for a planned brain or spine procedure. It aims to see if a new monitor can safely track oxygen levels without extra blood tests.
This study is testing a method to monitor oxygen levels in tissue and blood during major surgery. Researchers want to see if this can help doctors better understand how the body is coping during the operation, which might lead to improved patient care.
