Checking oxygen and sleep depth during brain aneurysm coiling
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be scheduled for a procedure called endovascular coil embolization to treat a brain aneurysm (a bulging blood vessel in the brain).
- Your overall health should be within a certain range (classified as ASA I to III) — meaning you are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health conditions that are well controlled.
- The procedure will be done under general anesthesia, so you will be fully asleep.
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form agreeing to participate.
- You cannot have certain severe health problems (like serious heart, lung, liver, or kidney disease) or severe brain conditions other than the aneurysm. Also, you cannot have skin conditions on the scalp or forehead that would interfere with the monitoring sensors, and this cannot be an emergency procedure. If female, you cannot be pregnant.

This trial uses a special light-based sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) to monitor blood flow in the brain continuously after a bleeding stroke (subarachnoid hemorrhage). The goal is to improve early detection of reduced blood flow, which could help prevent complications.
This study compares a new noninvasive blood pressure monitoring method to the standard method (using a small tube in your wrist) during brain aneurysm repair surgery. If you join, you may avoid the need for a wrist artery line.
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 looks at how blood pressure in the carotid artery relates to oxygen levels in the brain during awake carotid surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to protect your brain during the procedure.
This study looks at whether a special head monitor (called NIRS) can help doctors keep your brain healthy during a procedure to replace your narrowed heart valve (TAVI). You will be monitored during the procedure, and the information may help improve care for future patients.
This study uses special monitors to watch brain activity and other vital signs in adults admitted to the neurosurgery intensive care unit (NSICU). The goal is to learn more about how the brain is doing and could help doctors provide better care.
