Brain oxygen levels measured during spine surgery in teens
NCT ID NCT06910228
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 38 times
Summary
This observational study looks at how raising the head of the bed during scoliosis surgery changes oxygen levels in the brain. Researchers will use a non-invasive light device (NIRS) to monitor 50 teens aged 10-21 while they are under anesthesia. The goal is to understand how different positions affect brain oxygenation, which could help improve patient safety during surgery.

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 study could help surgeons better understand how to position patients during spine surgery to maintain healthy brain oxygen levels.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study (50 participants) that only measures oxygen levels during surgery. It does not test a treatment or directly improve outcomes.
