Checking brain oxygen during spine surgery lying face-down
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 75 years old
- Be scheduled for elective (non-emergency) surgery for a herniated disc in the lower back
- Be in generally good health or have mild health conditions (classified as ASA I-III)
- Be able to provide written consent to participate
- Be on a type of breathing support called volume-controlled ventilation during surgery
- Not have significant heart, lung, or brain problems that might complicate the procedure
- Be able to tolerate lying on your stomach for the duration of surgery

This study tests a new way to monitor oxygen levels during shoulder surgery while you are sitting up. It aims to help doctors give you the right amount of oxygen during anesthesia, which may reduce risks.
This study compares two different levels of breathing support (called PEEP) during spine surgery while you lie on your stomach. The goal is to see which level keeps your lungs working better during the operation.
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 whether applying gentle pressure to one side of the neck during general anesthesia affects oxygen levels in the brain. It aims to see if this safe technique could help protect the brain during surgery.
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.
This study checks how much oxygen is in your body during anesthesia for a planned brain or spine procedure. It aims to see if a new monitor can safely track oxygen levels without extra blood tests.
