NCT ID: NCT01835327 Terminated - Clinical trials for Cerebral Oxygen Desaturation

Cerebral Oxygen Monitoring During Surgery and Recovery After Surgery in Patients Having Lung Surgery

Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The current study proposes to address the question of whether patients' cerebral oxygen saturation levels are predictive of their recovery from thoracic surgery. Further, the study poses the hypothesis that a patient's poor recovery status goes on to increase a patient's risk of developing post-operative morbidities such as pneumonia, arrhythmias and delirium. The aim of this study is to address the observation that some patients struggle more than others in their recovery and that 1) this may be a result of intraoperative cerebral oxygen desaturations and 2) that this may affect their post-operative morbidity. If a potential means of predicting poor outcomes is identified this will lead to further research into how to adjust the associated variables, such as cerebral oxygenation, to improve patient post-operative outcome.
