Effect of head-down position on brain wave monitor during hysterectomy
This study checks if a head-down position (called Trendelenburg) during laparoscopic hysterectomy affects a brain wave monitor (Patient State Index) that measures how deep your anesthesia is.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 65 years old
- You are scheduled for a laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus removal through small cuts) under general anesthesia
- You are in good enough health to be classified as ASA I, II, or III (a standard rating of physical fitness before surgery)
- No brain or nerve conditions like stroke or epilepsy
- No serious eye problems (glaucoma, retinal disease) or blood vessel disease in the brain
- No severe heart or lung disease, and no body mass index over 35

This study compares three ways to give anesthesia during laparoscopic hysterectomy: one type of gas (sevoflurane) with or without a lidocaine IV drip, versus a different IV anesthesia (propofol). The goal is to see which approach best protects pressure inside your head and oxygen levels in your brain during surgery.
This study uses a brain wave monitor (processed EEG) during laparoscopic abdominal or gynecologic surgery to see if it helps with pain control, recovery, and preventing confusion after surgery.
This study looks at how lying flat versus in stirrups during surgery changes brain activity and oxygen levels while under anesthesia. It may help doctors better monitor patients during operations.
This study tests whether using special brain-wave monitoring and heart-signal information during anesthesia can improve your comfort and recovery after certain laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries. If you qualify, your anesthesia plan may be guided by these monitors to help standardize care and track recovery.
This study tests how well a non-invasive blood pressure cuff matches the readings from an arterial line during laparoscopic surgery where you are tilted head-down. It looks for people who are already having this type of surgery with an arterial line.
This study looks at how children's brains respond during laparoscopic hernia repair. It uses two noninvasive devices (a headband and sensors on the forehead) to measure blood flow and oxygen levels in the brain while the child is under anesthesia. This could help doctors better understand how to keep children safe during this type of surgery.
