Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults who are having certain types of pelvic surgery that may last longer than two hours. Participants will have their blood flow and oxygen levels in their legs monitored during the surgery.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I am an adult
- I am having minimally invasive pelvic surgery
- My surgery will be done in the lithotomy position
- My surgery is expected to last longer than 2 hours
You may not be able to join if
- I am pregnant
- My surgery is expected to last less than 2 hours
- I am having an open surgery
- I am having a minor procedure
- I am allergic to the adhesives used for monitoring sensors
- I am in a vulnerable population such as being incarcerated or elderly

About This Trial
The LIMB Study is a prospective, observational pilot study evaluating the feasibility of combined non-invasive hemodynamic and lower-limb tissue oximetry monitoring during prolonged minimally invasive pelvic surgeries performed in lithotomy position. Thirty patients will undergo continuous intraoperative monitoring, with the primary outcome being the frequency and duration of tissue oxygen desatur…
