How blood sugar control affects brain oxygen and recovery in diabetic surgery patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how well-controlled blood sugar (measured by HbA1c) affects brain oxygen levels during urologic surgery and how it impacts recovery afterward. It compares diabetic patients to non-diabetic patients to understand the role of blood sugar control in surgical outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses a simple stomach ultrasound before surgery to see how fast your stomach empties. It compares that to your HbA1c (a measure of average blood sugar) to better understand how diabetes might affect digestion during anesthesia.
This study looks at how giving extra oxygen during surgery affects brain function and confusion (delirium) in older adults. It involves placing a small sensor on your forehead to measure brain oxygen levels.
This study looks at how blood pressure medicines affect blood flow to the brain during general anesthesia for planned surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better manage care during operations.
This study looks at how blood sugar levels change during surgery and whether that relates to confusion after surgery (delirium). It may help doctors identify who is at risk and provide better care.
This study looks at how often blood sugar levels run high during surgery in people who have pre-diabetes (A1c 6.0 to 6.4%). If you join, researchers will track your blood sugar around your surgery to learn more, which may help improve care for people like you.
This study looks at how the brain's use of sugar (glucose) relates to confusion after surgery in older diabetic patients having liver surgery. It may help doctors predict and prevent post-surgery confusion.
