Fluid monitor for children having skull surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 0 and 6 years old.
- Your child is scheduled for surgery to correct craniosynostosis (early skull bone fusion).
- Your child is in overall good health (ASA class I, II, or III).
- Your child does not have serious heart, lung, or kidney disease.
- Your child's circulation to the arms and legs is normal.
- You (the parent or guardian) agree to the study and sign a consent form.

This study looks at how general anesthesia may affect “brain injury marker” levels during and after surgery for single-suture craniosynostosis in infants. It may help doctors better understand anesthesia timing and safety for babies having corrective surgery.
This study compares two types of monitors that track your baby's heart and blood flow during surgery to fix craniosynostosis. The goal is to see if a newer monitor works as well as the traditional one.
This study tests if a non-invasive device can help doctors give the right amount of fluids during planned brain surgery. The goal is to keep your blood flow stable and improve recovery.
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 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.
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.
