Submental Oxygen and Blood Lactate in Major Surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial will measure oxygen levels in the skin under your chin and compare them to blood lactate levels during major surgery. It aims to find a better way to monitor how well your body is handling the stress of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a major surgery that requires constant blood pressure monitoring through an arterial line and hourly blood gas tests.
- You will have an arterial catheter placed as part of your routine care.
- You are able to give written consent.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have severe problems with blood flow in your arms or hands.

This study uses a special light-based sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) and artificial intelligence to monitor brain oxygen levels during open heart surgery. It aims to improve safety and early detection of brain-related complications.
This trial studies whether a simple breathing test before surgery can help predict which patients might have low oxygen levels shortly after ear, nose, or throat surgery. It aims to make recovery safer.
This study uses a special light-based device to measure oxygen levels in your tissues during vascular surgery. It aims to see if this device can help doctors monitor blood flow more effectively during the operation, which could 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 trial monitors brain oxygen levels during shoulder surgeries done in a beach chair (semi-sitting) position under general anesthesia. It helps doctors understand how well the brain gets oxygen during these surgeries.
This study looks at how giving extra oxygen during surgery affects brain function and confusion (delirium) in older adults. It involves placing a small sensor on your forehead to measure brain oxygen levels.
