Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to determine the incidence of perioperative cerebral desaturation in neonates undergoing surgery for congenital malformations. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. The perioperative factors associated with occurrence of cerebral desaturation 2. The association between perioperative cerebral desaturation, perioperative/hospital outcomes, and physiological conditions. Participants will undergo Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring for one hour before surgery, during surgery, and up to 24 hours after surgery.
Brain monitoring using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) started in 2002 in the operating room of the Montreal heart Institute (MHI). This was followed by the use of somatic NIRS in 2010, transcranial Doppler in 2015 and processed electroencephalogram (pEEG) using Sedline (Masimo, Irvine CA) in 2017. The introduction of those modalities led to significant change in intraoperative management. The goal of these devices is to improve our ability to detect and predict post-operative complications as well as offering insights on how to prevent them. The current project explores in further detail the impact of the introduction of pEEG in the operating room and in the intensive care unit (ICU) on post-operative delirium.
Number of elderly patients requiring general anesthesia for major surgical procedures is increasing dramatically. It is estimated that 20% of these patients will develop major complications after surgery. Monitoring brain oxygen saturation may be helpful in reducing the postoperative complication rates. A decrease in brain oxygen is a sign that all other vital organs such as kidneys, heart, liver, and intestines have reduced blood supply and are starved from oxygen. This happens in 1 out of 5 patients undergoing major complex surgeries. Brain oxygen saturation monitor at this time is not used routinely during surgery, primarily due to the added cost, as well as, insufficient evidence that restoring the brain oxygen saturation to baseline would result in better outcomes. Patients will be randomly assigned to either study or control groups. In the study group, a special algorithm will be used to restore brain oxygen saturation. In the control group, the brain oxygen saturation will be monitored continuously, but the monitor screen will be electronically blinded, and standard clinical care applied. The objective of this study is to see if restoring the brain oxygen saturation to baseline results in less complication rates after surgery. The objective of this study is to reduce the incidence of postoperative morbidity due to end organ dysfunction after major non-cardiac surgery in elderly patients. The primary aim is to determine if restoration of rSO2 to baseline levels results in reduced incidence of major organ morbidity and mortality (MOMM). A secondary aim is to determine a cost-effectiveness of this monitoring modality.
Cerebral oxygen desaturation during cardiac surgery measured using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) derived cerebral oximetry has been associated with significant postoperative morbidity. If significant desaturation occurs during this period, it may represent an ideal opportunity to further optimize the postoperative care of these patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical impact of cerebral and systemic desaturation during liver transplantation and resection on post-operative complications.
