Does anesthesia flow affect brain pressure during surgery?
NCT ID NCT07514026
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how different anesthesia gas flows affect brain pressure and oxygen levels in women having laparoscopic hysterectomy. 64 women were randomly assigned to either high-flow or low-flow anesthesia. The researchers measured brain pressure indirectly using eye ultrasound and brain oxygen using a forehead sensor. The goal was to see if one method is safer for the brain during this type of surgery.
