Early brain injury detection after infant heart surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks for early signs of brain injury in infants after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It aims to improve monitoring and care for babies with congenital heart disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is an infant or up to 1 year old.
- Your child has a congenital heart defect that requires surgery with a heart-lung machine.
- Your child's heart defect can be surgically treated (not inoperable).
- Your child did not have brain injury from low oxygen at birth that needed cooling treatment.

This study looks at whether early brain-wave testing (EEG) around the time of heart surgery in very young babies can predict later learning and development issues. It may help doctors identify children who need extra support sooner.
This study measures how well blood flows to the brain in infants with serious heart defects. The results may help doctors understand and protect brain development before and after heart surgery.
This study looks at whether certain proteins in the blood (called Tau and GFAP) can predict brain injury after heart surgery in children. The goal is to find early warning signs to improve care and outcomes.
This study uses EEG (a test that records brain activity) to help doctors quickly identify brain injury in newborns who had a difficult birth. If successful, it could lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
This study looks at a blood test that might help check brain injury in newborns who had a lack of oxygen at birth. The test could give doctors more information to help care for your baby.
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.
