Seoul National University

Status: Unknown

Conditions: Cerebral Lesion

Treatments: Other: ultrasound assessment

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT05391282

Details and patient eligibility

About

Little is known about how implementation of prone position contributes to general anesthesia-induced decrease in cerebral blood flow in infants. The investigators investigated this question in participants undergoing untethering, hypothesizing that cardiorespiratory changes during this procedure would reduce cerebral perfusion.

Enrollment: 20 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: Under 15 months old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• pediatric neurosurgical patients receiving surgery under prone position

Exclusion criteria

• patients diagnosed as hydrocephalus
