Brain blood flow in tiny patients: study seeks safe surgery limits
NCT ID NCT07660302
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study measures how well the brain controls its own blood flow in preterm and full-term infants during non-cardiac surgery. Using a special light-based monitor on the forehead, researchers track oxygen levels in the brain and compare them to blood pressure. The goal is to identify the blood pressure range that keeps the brain safe, which could guide anesthesia care for these vulnerable 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 set safer blood pressure targets for infants during surgery, potentially reducing brain injury risk.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to immediate changes in care, and results may vary across individual infants.
