Spine surgery study measures brain pressure through the eyes

NCT ID NCT07085949

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how different ventilator pressure levels (PEEP) affect the optic nerve sheath diameter, which is a noninvasive way to estimate brain pressure. Researchers measured this in 105 patients undergoing spine surgery while lying face down. The goal was to see if higher or lower ventilator settings change this measurement after 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 could help doctors choose safer ventilator settings during spine surgery to avoid increased brain pressure.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not apply to other surgeries or patient groups.
