New tests aim to prevent Post-Surgery paralysis in aortic patients

NCT ID NCT03074487

Summary

This study explored new monitoring methods to detect spinal cord problems in patients recovering from major aortic aneurysm surgery. Researchers tested two painless techniques that could be used after surgery when patients are awake, aiming to catch spinal cord issues early before they cause paralysis. The goal was to find better ways to monitor spinal cord health during the critical recovery period when patients are most vulnerable.
