U.S., Aug. 22 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07778303) titled 'Effect of Left Paratracheal Pressure on Cerebral Oxygenation During General Anesthesia' on Aug. 18.
Brief Summary: Left paratracheal pressure (LPP) has been proposed as an alternative to cricoid pressure to reduce the risk of regurgitation during induction of general anesthesia. Previous studies suggest that LPP can effectively compress the esophagus without significantly reducing left carotid blood flow. However, its effect on cerebral oxygenation has not yet been evaluated.
The aim of this prospective randomized crossover study is to assess whether application of LPP affects regional cerebral oxygen saturation measured by near-in...
