Monitoring brain blood flow in children during hernia surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 10 years old.
- Your child is scheduled for a planned laparoscopic hernia repair (a type of surgery to fix a groin hernia).
- Your child is otherwise healthy (classified as ASA I or II — meaning no serious medical conditions).
- Your child will have surgery under general anesthesia.
- You (parent or guardian) must sign a consent form allowing your child to participate.
- Your child must not have known brain or nerve disorders, or severe heart/lung disease.

This study measures blood flow in the brain while you are in different positions during robotic prostate surgery. It aims to understand how your body handles the steep head-down position used in this type of surgery.
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.
This study tests whether using special brain-monitoring devices during anesthesia can help reduce confusion and agitation that sometimes happens after surgery in children ages 1–6. The goal is to improve recovery by helping doctors manage anesthesia more precisely.
This study measures how well blood flows to your child's brain while they're in the intensive care unit on a breathing machine. Understanding this flow may help doctors better care for critically ill children.
This study checks if a special monitor (called Pleth Variability Index) helps doctors manage fluids better during surgery for children with craniosynostosis. It may lead to safer recovery for your child.
This trial compares a noninvasive way to measure brain pressure to an invasive method in children. It may help reduce the need for painful or risky procedures while still getting useful measurements for care.
