Brain-Guided blood pressure during surgery may cut risks
NCT ID NCT05308290
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether keeping blood pressure within a range that ensures good blood flow to the brain during surgery is feasible and safe compared to usual care. Researchers enrolled 27 older adults having hip, knee, or lung surgery. They measured how often blood pressure fell outside the brain's comfort zone and checked for complications like heart attack, stroke, and delirium.
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 approach could reduce complications like delirium and stroke after surgery in older patients.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (27 participants) with no phase, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is a blood pressure management strategy, not a drug, so benefits may be modest.
