Clinical Trial Summary

Deliberate hypotension, reverse Trendelenburg position, and hyperventilation are techniques utilized during functional endoscopic sinus surgery to attempt to reduce surgical bleeding. These methods reduce blood flow to the head and neck area and assist in reducing bleeding during surgery but they may predispose patients to cerebral ischemia. Large scale studies necessary to conduct adequate statistical analysis regarding the effect of cerebral oximetry on otolaryngology surgery has not been extensively studied. This study seek to address the question of whether cerebral oximetry in the FESS population can help evaluate major and minor post operative morbidity, as well as the quality of recovery from surgery. Cerebral oximeters are small, noninvasive stickers applied to the forehead of participants and give the examiners data regarding the level of oxygen saturation around the brain during the course of surgery. During the course of such procedures, where blood flow to the head and neck area is intentionally decreased to assist in reducing bleeding during surgery, the levels of oxygen saturation around the brain may pose as a predictor or major and minor post operative morbidity, as well as the quality of recovery from surgery. Outcome measures will include major post operative complications, such as neurological and cardiac complications, and minor post operative morbidity, such as length of post anesthesia care unit (PACU) length of stay, nausea, and vomiting. Quality of recovery will also be assessed using a survey conducted in the PACU and again at the first post operative visit approximately one week after surgery.

Research Plan

This study will be conducted at Mount Sinai Hospital. Patients will be recruited by reading the operating room schedule in advance and contacting patients over the phone to explain the study, risks and benefits, and obtain informed consent prior to admission to the hospital.

Objective 1 The specific aim of this observational study is to evaluate changes in cerebral tissue oxygen saturation in patients undergoing head and neck surgery under general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation using the Casmed Foresight cerebral oximeter.

Ensuring patient safety in surgeries upon the head and neck is a complex task in anesthesiology. These patients present a myriad of concerns that need to be considered to create a safe and thorough anesthetic plan that include potentially difficult airways, varied patient positioning, and the intricate involvement of anesthetic drugs upon the quality of the surgical field. During common procedures such as sinus endoscopy, patients undergo endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation for airway protection and a strategy of deliberate hypotension is implemented with the goal of creating a clean surgical field that minimizes avoidable bleeding. The objective of this strategy is to allow the surgeons to complete their procedure more quickly and with less hypothetical risk of injury due to poor visualization of structures. However, this strategy of deliberate hypotension carries with it the potential risk of cerebral hypoperfusion as the lower limits of cerebral autoregulation are not known on an individual patient basis. Furthermore, mechanical ventilation- particularly with hyperventilation- can further decrease cerebral blood flow and potentially compromise cerebral perfusion. The current standard of care to monitor the hemodynamics of patients undergoing these procedures are standard American Society of Anesthesiologists monitors, which includes non-invasive blood pressure measurements. The investigators propose the use of a non-invasive monitor of cerebral oxygenation with cerebral oximeter probes in a prospective, observational study of a series of patients undergoing routine head and neck surgery.
