Monitoring blood flow during shoulder surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a noninvasive device that tracks blood flow to the brain during shoulder surgery while you are sitting up. It aims to ensure patient safety by detecting any drop in blood flow early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 65 and 90 years old
- You are having shoulder arthroscopy (a minimally invasive shoulder surgery) that is not an emergency
- You will be in a beach-chair position (sitting up) during the surgery
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not have major heart disease, kidney failure requiring dialysis, a history of stroke, or dementia

This trial tests a new tool that helps doctors manage fluids and blood pressure during surgery. It uses a special index (HPI) and computer-assisted fluid management to keep your blood pressure stable, which may reduce complications.
This study looks at how blood flow in your fingers relates to low blood pressure during knee surgery. It may help doctors better manage anesthesia for future patients.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to predict drops in blood pressure during major hip, knee, pelvis, or spine surgery. The goal is to help doctors prevent low blood pressure, which can lead to complications.
This trial is testing a non-invasive device that predicts low blood pressure during surgery. It aims to help doctors prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure, making surgery safer for patients.
This study tests special ways of analyzing blood-pressure recordings during major surgery to better understand why some people develop low blood pressure (hypotension). If you have high blood pressure and need invasive blood-pressure monitoring, your surgery team will use readings to study patterns that may help predict or prevent low blood pressure.
This trial tests a new method to monitor blood pressure during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It is for people at higher risk for stroke or other brain blood vessel issues.
