Brain monitoring during heart surgery with heart-lung machine
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 69 years old
- You are scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, which uses a heart-lung machine
- You do not have eye diseases or injuries that could affect the monitoring
- You do not have severe breathing problems or uncontrolled heart conditions
- You have not been diagnosed with dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or other brain disorders, and have not had delirium in the last year

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether tailoring anesthesia and monitoring the brain’s blood-flow control during heart surgery can improve neurological outcomes (brain-related function and recovery). It may help by guiding anesthesia in a more individualized way and checking how well the brain is protected during the operation.
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).
This study uses special monitors to watch for confusion or disorientation (called delirium) after heart surgery. The goal is to detect it early and help you recover more smoothly.
This study uses a special brain-wave monitor during your surgery to see if it can predict confusion or memory problems afterward. It may help you and your doctors better understand your recovery.
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 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.
