Measuring hemoglobin levels during spine surgery in the prone position
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests whether lying face down during spine surgery affects the accuracy of a noninvasive (no needle) hemoglobin monitor. It may help doctors get reliable blood measurements without extra blood draws.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having lumbar (lower back) stabilization surgery under general anesthesia.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA physical status I-III by your anesthesia team).
- Your hemoglobin level is at least 10 g/dL (a standard blood test result).
- You do not have peripheral arterial disease (a condition affecting blood flow in your arms or legs).

This study measures how lying face-down during lumbar disc surgery affects your breathing and the oxygen levels in your brain. The researchers want to see if this position is safe and how it changes blood flow and oxygen to your brain during the operation.
This study checks how well a simple arm cuff (non-invasive blood pressure monitoring) works compared to a more direct method using a small tube in an artery during laparoscopic surgery in a head-down position. The findings could help make blood pressure monitoring more accurate and comfortable for future patients.
This study tests a non-invasive blood pressure monitor during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia to see if it predicts low blood pressure after the procedure, which could help prevent dizziness and fainting.
This study tests whether lying on your side after spinal anesthesia (numbing injection in your back) helps keep blood pressure stable during leg surgery. It is designed for older adults (65+) who are at higher risk for anesthesia complications.
This study is testing a new, non-invasive way to measure hemoglobin (the part of blood that carries oxygen) using a light sensor on the skin, without needing extra blood draws. The goal is to see if this sensor is accurate for children having heart procedures, which could reduce the number of needle sticks they need.
This study checks whether a new non-invasive measurement of oxygen delivery is accurate in patients having heart surgery. Participating may help improve monitoring during and after surgery, without extra procedures beyond what is already part of your care.
