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 trial tests if a special brain monitor can help track awareness during laparoscopic surgery while under general anesthesia. Participation may help improve safety and comfort during surgery.
This study tests a device that monitors your brain waves while your doctor places a breathing tube before surgery. It aims to see if this monitoring helps make the tube placement easier and more comfortable for you.
This trial compares different anesthesia monitoring techniques during laparoscopic surgery to see how they affect recovery, pain, and confusion after the operation. It may help find a way to improve your recovery and reduce side effects from anesthesia.
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 looks at brain activity during surgery to see if it can predict sleep problems after surgery. It may help doctors find ways to improve sleep recovery in patients having gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.
