Tilt test: does Head-Down position fool anesthesia monitors?
NCT ID NCT07467200
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watches 60 women having laparoscopic hysterectomy to see if the head-down (Trendelenburg) position changes how brain monitors measure anesthesia depth. Researchers will record brain waves and oxygen levels before and after tilting. No extra treatments are given—just careful observation to help doctors better understand these monitors during surgery.
