Tissue oxygen and lactate monitoring during major surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You must be scheduled for a major surgery that requires general anesthesia.
- The surgery must be considered major, meaning there is a risk of significant blood loss and you will need an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) for monitoring.
- You must be able to give written consent to participate.
- You must not be pregnant, have severe peripheral vascular disease affecting your arms, or have certain skin conditions that prevent sensor placement.

This study uses a safe, non-invasive light-based technique called near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure blood flow and oxygen in the brain. It aims to test a new monitoring device in healthy volunteers aged 20 to 40 to make sure it works correctly.
This study looks at how blood pressure changes during the start of open heart surgery and whether it affects oxygen levels in body tissues. It may help doctors better manage blood pressure during surgery to keep patients safe.
This study uses a special light-based device to measure oxygen levels in your tissues during vascular surgery. It aims to see if this monitoring can help doctors better understand blood flow during the operation, which may help improve outcomes.
This study tests a goal-based blood pressure treatment approach during major surgery for people at higher risk (often older or frail with high blood pressure). The goal is to see if this BRAIN-targeted strategy can improve how patients do after surgery.
This study looks at a new way to monitor blood flow in tiny blood vessels during liver transplant surgery. It may help doctors better understand how well blood is reaching tissues during the operation.
This study tests a special sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) that checks blood flow to the heart and other organs during heart surgery. It may help doctors monitor and improve care for children having complex heart procedures.
