Blood pressure and brain oxygen monitoring during heart surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether keeping blood pressure and brain oxygen levels steady during heart surgery can help doctors spot problems with blood flow to organs after the operation. It may help improve recovery and prevent complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how blood flow to the brain changes during heart surgery and whether it relates to confusion after surgery. It may help doctors find ways to prevent confusion in older patients.
This study tests a device that measures oxygen levels in your brain during awake carotid surgery. It aims to help doctors watch your brain health in real time and reduce risks during the procedure.
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 whether certain blood markers (carbon dioxide and lactate) can help predict confusion or memory problems after heart surgery. If you're having planned heart surgery, the findings may help doctors identify and support patients at higher risk for post-surgery thinking issues.
This study tests a new way to monitor blood flow to the brain during heart surgery. The goal is to see if this can help protect the brain and reduce thinking problems after surgery.
This trial looks at how well the brain controls its own blood flow during non-cardiac surgeries. It aims to see if problems with this regulation are linked to confusion after surgery (delirium).
