While standard protocols often rely on high inspired oxygen concentrations to maintain peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO\\_2), this approach may induce hyperoxia. Conversely, lowering FiO\\_2 arbitrarily can increase the risk of hypoxemia or compromise tissue oxygenation. This prospective, parallel-group, 1:1 randomized, single-blind clinical trial aims to safely reduce intraoperative oxygen exposure by using regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO\\_2) monitoring as a physiological guide.A total of 60 participants aged 18 and older, classified as ASA I-III and scheduled for elective thoracic surgery, will be randomly assigned to one of two arms:Experimental Group (Guided Low FiO\\_2 Strategy): Ventilation will be initiated at a low FiO\\_2 of 0.5. The FiO\\_2 level will not be increased unless peripheral saturation (SpO\\_2) falls below 90% or cerebral oxygenation (rSO\\_2) drops below 80% of the patient's baseline value.Active Comparator Group (Standard Strategy): Patients will receive conventional anesthesia management, maintaining standard high FiO\\_2 levels to keep SpO\\_2 above 90% without cerebral oximetry guidance.The primary outcomes to be measured are the incidence of cerebral desaturation during the perioperative period and the incidence of postoperative delirium assessed via the 3D-CAM tool until hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes include intraoperative hemodynamic stability, arterial blood gas parameters (PaO\\_2, PaCO\\_2, pH, lactate), incidence of hypoxemia, total one-lung ventilation duration, postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), and lengths of stay in both the intensive care unit (ICU) and the hospital.By utilizing real-time non-invasive cerebral oximetry, the study intends to demonstrate a safe ventilation protocol that minimizes oxygen toxicity without compromising cerebral oxygenation or clinical recovery outcomes.",[25,61],"2026-06-16",{"date":130,"type":30},{"date":152,"type":21},"2026-06-15",{"date":154,"type":21},"2026-08-15",{"name":156,"class":37},"Dicle University",{"id":158,"slug":159,"hasResults":12,"nctId":160,"briefTitle":161,"officialTitle":162,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":163,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":164,"minAge":17,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":165,"targetDuration":167,"studyType":22,"phases":4,"briefSummary":168,"conditions":169,"keywords":174,"overallStatus":66,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":180,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":181,"startDateStruct":183,"completionDateStruct":185,"leadSponsor":187,"locationsCount":38},"100641814","perioperative-quantitative-sensory-testing-and-incision-pain-mapping-in-thoracic-surgery-100641814","NCT07653932","Perioperative Quantitative Sensory Testing and Incision Pain Mapping in Thoracic Surgery","Perioperative Pain Phenotyping and Incision Pain Mapping Using Quantitative Sensory Testing in Patients Undergoing Thoracoscopic or Robotic-assisted Lung Resection: A Prospective Observational Pilot Cohort Study","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.

this study being done? Chest surgeries (like lung surgery) require safe and stable anesthesia. Currently, a drug called propofol combined with an opioid painkiller (alfentanil) is commonly used. However, propofol can sometimes cause low blood pressure and low oxygen levels. A newer drug called remimazolam may cause fewer of these side effects. This study aims to compare the safety and effectiveness of remimazolam (combined with alfentanil) versus propofol (combined with alfentanil) for anesthesia during chest surgery.\n\nWhat will happen in the study?\n\nPatients scheduled for elective chest surgery will be invited to participate. If they agree, they will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to one of two groups:\n\n* Group 1: Will receive remimazolam and alfentanil for anesthesia.\n* Group 2: Will receive propofol and alfentanil for anesthesia (standard care).\n\nThe anesthesiologist will carefully monitor patients during and after surgery. We will mainly compare how often patients in each group experience two safety issues: low oxygen levels in the blood and low blood pressure. We will also record recovery times, drug doses, side effects, and ask patients and surgeons about their satisfaction.\n\nWho can participate? Adults aged 18-65 who are scheduled for elective chest surgery and are in relatively stable health (ASA physical status I-III).\n\nWhere is the study taking place?
