What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study watches brain activity in 300 adults during high-risk surgeries like heart or spine operations. Researchers use special monitors to track brain waves and pressure, linking them to patient outcomes. The goal is to understand why some people develop confusion or brain injury after surgery, but no treatments are tested here.

Participants

About 300 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Adult patients age 18 years or older scheduled to undergo major spine surgery, liver transplantation, on-pump cardiac surgery, major vascular surgery, major thoracic surgery, major abdominal surgery, or neurosurgical craniotomy at UT Southwestern Medical Center. These populations were selected because they commonly experience substantial perioperative hemodynamic and physiologic perturbations.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or older * Scheduled to undergo major spine surgery, liver transplantation, on-pump cardiac surgery, major vascular surgery, major thoracic surgery, major abdominal surgery, or neurosurgical craniotomy at UT Southwestern Medical Center * Able to provide informed consent (self or legally authorized representative when applicable) * Safe and feasible placement of SedLine and/or Brain4Care monitoring as determined by the clinical and research teams * Anticipated availability of perioperative clinical data needed for study analyses Exclusion Criteria: * Age younger than 18 years * Prisoner status * Pregnancy * Unable to provide informed consent in English (consent documents available in English only) * Declining participation * Lack of subject or legally authorized representative consent when required * Clinical condition preventing safe or feasible placement of study monitors (e.g., incompatible surgical field location, significant facial or scalp injury, open wounds at intended sensor placement site) * Operative workflow or clinical urgency precluding reasonable completion of consent and monitor placement prior to start of surgery * Anticipated clinical data capture insufficient for meaningful analysis
