Chin sensor may spot hidden danger during surgery
NCT ID NCT07399275
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watches 150 adults during major surgery to see if a non-invasive light sensor on the chin can detect early signs of poor blood flow to tissues. Researchers compare this sensor to standard blood tests that measure lactate, a marker of oxygen shortage. The goal is to find a faster, safer way to spot problems without changing how doctors normally care for patients.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients aged 18 years and older undergoing major surgical procedures under general anesthesia at a single tertiary care center. Major surgery includes abdominal, neurosurgical, and major orthopedic procedures associated with a risk of significant blood loss and/or impaired tissue perfusion, requiring invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring and hourly arterial blood gas analysis as part of routine clinical care. All participants are enrolled prospectively and monitored intraoperatively without any alteration to standard anesthetic or surgical management.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 years and older * Scheduled for major surgical procedures under general anesthesia * Major surgery defined as procedures associated with a risk of significant blood loss and/or impaired tissue perfusion, requiring invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring and hourly arterial blood gas analysis * Planned intraoperative arterial catheter placement as part of routine clinical care * Ability to provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Age younger than 18 years * Refusal or inability to provide informed consent * Absence of invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring * Known pregnancy * Severe peripheral vascular disease affecting upper extremities * Anatomical abnormalities or skin conditions preventing placement of NIRS sensors on the submental or thenar regions * Emergency surgery requiring immediate intervention * Preoperative severe metabolic acidosis (arterial pH \< 7.20)
