Predicting Recovery After Heart Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood pressure and brain oxygen levels during heart surgery might help us predict recovery. If you are having heart surgery, your participation could help doctors understand how to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for heart surgery (with or without a heart-lung machine).
- You are able to understand and agree to the study (informed consent).
- You have no history of dementia or serious memory problems.
- Your doctors will monitor your blood pressure and brain oxygen during surgery.

This study looks at older adults having heart surgery to find out who might have trouble thinking or remembering afterward. Researchers hope to build a tool to predict this risk so doctors can help sooner.
This study is looking at how well the brain regulates its blood flow during heart surgery and whether that affects the chance of becoming confused (delirium) after surgery. Researchers want to find ways to prevent delirium in older adults having heart surgery.
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 tests a new way to predict delirium (sudden confusion) after heart surgery by using brain monitoring. It may help doctors detect early warning signs so they can act faster.
This trial uses brain monitoring during heart surgery to try to prevent post-surgery confusion or memory problems. It may help if you are having valve repair or bypass surgery.
This study monitors your heart rate and brain waves during and after brain surgery to see if they can help doctors predict how well you will recover. It aims to improve care for future patients.
