Brain oxygen dips during lung surgery may cloud thinking in seniors
NCT ID NCT07339124
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 30 older adults (65+) having lung surgery with one-lung ventilation. Researchers will measure brain oxygen levels during surgery and test thinking and pain afterward. The goal is to see if low brain oxygen is linked to confusion and worse pain, which could help doctors improve care for elderly patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better monitor brain oxygen during lung surgery to reduce confusion and improve pain control in older patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study with only 30 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. It does not test a new treatment, only measures existing care.
