NCT07442214
Investigator's aim in this study is to compare the more accessible and low-cost Carotid Doppler USG measurements, which are relatively more difficult to access, costly, and have technical disadvantages, and to demonstrate their superiority over each other in the evaluation of cerebral perfusion in liver transplantation surgeries, without any invasive intervention to the patient.
NCT07398352
The aim of our study was to compare the effects of interscalene block alone and the combination of interscalene block and superficial cervical block on cerebral oxygenation, carotid artery diameter, intraoperative hemodynamics, laboratory parameters, clinical course and postoperative pain in patients undergoing shoulder surgery.

Evaluation of Cerebral Perfusion in Supine and Steep Trendelenburg Positions During Robotic Prostatectomy Robotic endoscopic radical prostatectomy requires pneumoperitoneum and the steep Trendelenburg position to ensure optimal surgical visualization. However, this combination may increase intracranial pressure (ICP) and alter cerebral blood flow and oxygenation. This study aimed to evaluate cerebral perfusion changes in patients undergoing robotic prostatectomy by using Transcranial Doppler (TCD) and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS). Cerebral blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery and pulsatility index (PI) were measured to estimate ICP, while NIRS was used to assess cerebral oxygen saturation. Additionally, arterial blood gas parameters (PCO₂, PO₂, Hb), end-tidal CO₂, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were recorded. Pre- and postoperative Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores were compared to evaluate potential cognitive effects. The aim was to determine the relationship between ICP estimation, cerebral oxygenation, and hemodynamic variables during supine and steep Trendelenburg positions in robotic prostatectomy.
NCT07270341
The goal of this observational study is to determine the correlation between cerebral oxygenation values measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and other routine monitoring parameters in patients placed in the semi-sitting position. The primary questions investigated are : Do NIRS values correlate with heart rate, invasive mean arterial pressure, and end-tidal carbon dioxide? Do NIRS values reflect changes observed in arterial blood gas analysis? Are cerebral perfusion-related parameters associated with patients' comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, and hypertension? Researchers will compare routine noninvasive monitoring (heart rate, blood pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation) with invasive arterial monitoring and NIRS to assess whether NIRS provides additional information for evaluating cerebral perfusion. Participants will be monitored for: Heart rate Invasive mean arterial pressure End-tidal carbon dioxide Arterial blood gas changes Cerebral oxygenation with NIRS Patients' comorbidities (e.g., diabetes, obesity, hypertension) will also be recorded, and their association with perfusion-related parameters will be analyzed.

Spinal anesthesia is a widely used method in anesthesia practice. Unilateral spinal block refers to a neuroaxial technique that induces motor and sensory blockade on the surgical side. While spinal anesthesia offers numerous advantages, it is associated with complications such as hypotension, headache, transient neurological symptoms, and meningitis. Among these, hypotension is the most common. To mitigate hemodynamic issues, intravenous fluid preloading and vasopressor use are standard practices in many centers. This study aimed to compare regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO₂) values in patients undergoing unilateral and bilateral spinal blocks to identify the least complicated and most effective method. Minimizing complications can facilitate early mobilization, reduce hospital stays, and lower infection risks. The study included 60 male patients (aged 18-65 years) scheduled for unilateral inguinal hernia surgery at Kayseri City Hospital. Inclusion criteria were the absence of coagulation disorders, infections, or systemic diseases, hemoglobin levels \>10 g/dL, and BMI \<30. Patients were randomized into two groups: Group I: Unilateral spinal anesthesia with 15 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine. Patients were placed in a lateral position on the surgical side for 5 minutes, then moved to the supine position. Group II: Bilateral spinal anesthesia with 15 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine. Patients were placed in the supine position for 5 minutes. Sensory block levels were assessed using the pin-prick test, and motor blocks were evaluated with the Bromage scale. Surgery commenced when the sensory block reached the T10 level. Patient data, including age, BMI, hemoglobin, baseline systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO₂), and rSO₂, were recorded before and after spinal anesthesia. SBP, DBP, MAP, HR, SpO₂, and rSO₂ values were monitored at 5-minute intervals for 30 minutes.

Measuring brain perfusion is biased by a inter- and intrasubject variability, caused by physiological and lifestyle factors. In this study, the investigators want to investigate the variations in cerebral perfusion and other brain parameters (grey matter, resting-state brain activity, brain connectivity and white matter diffusion) caused by the female sex hormones and hormonal contraception.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is progressively used in critically ill patients with cardiac or respiratory failure as a bridging option for potential organ recovery. However, ECMO survivors often suffer from poor neurocognitive outcome due to neurological complications such as microembolic (ME) strokes. In venoarterial (va) ECMO circuits the pulmonary circulation, which usually serves as microembolic filter, may be bypassed and generated ME are prone to reach the brain in substantial amounts and potentially impair cerebral integrity. Although patient exposure to cerebral ME has been thoroughly investigated in cardiopulmonary bypass procedures, there is only limited research on cerebral ME in patients undergoing ECMO therapy. The primary study goal of this study is to determine the load and nature of cerebral ME in critically ill patients under va-ECMO support. We also aim to compare the results to measurements in healthy subjects und intensive care unit (ICU) patients without extracorporeal support to get a better impression on the relevance of ME generation during ECMO support.
NCT02388880
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the physiological response to application of the Intrathoracic Pressure Regulator (ITPR) in patients with compromised cerebral circulation. The study will evaluate the physiological response to intrathoracic pressure regulation (IPR) therapy in hemodynamically stable patients with compromised cerebral circulation who are on ventilatory support.
NCT01645982
The purpose of this study is to compare the changes measured by Somanetics Invos cerebral oximeter to the mean arterial pressure at brain level in patients having elective shoulder replacement surgery. The Somanetics Invos System measures and monitors the oxygen saturation (rS02) of blood in the brain tissues to help prevent brain injury or other complications. The investigators hypothesize that maintaining normocarbia and systemic mean arterial pressure at or above 70mmHg during general anesthesia in the beach chair position will decrease the number of cerebral deoxygenation events during the procedure.
NCT02744625
The aim of the study is to measure cerebral perfusion using MRI in healthy subjects (with and without sedation) and in vasopressor-dependent patients
