Clinical Trial Summary

Assessment of safety and feasibility of using a nasopharyngeal cooling technique to provide targeted brain cooling during percutaneous implantation of aortic valves. Was it possible to obtain brain temperatures below 34° within a reasonable time interval (max of 1hr) without delaying the procedure of valve implantation.


Clinical Trial Description

OCCTAVI-I Protocol

6 patients selected for Transcutaneous Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)-procedure will be subjected to intra-operative transnasal cooling (RhinoChill) ; cooling will be started after induction of anesthesia until tympanic temperature achieves 34° (cooling will be continued until 33°C of tympanic temperature, below 33°C active cooling will be stopped)

No intra-aortic catheter will be inserted before tympanic temperature reaches 34°

The aim of this study is to test the safety (as referring to routinely used neuromonitoring : ForeSight cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2) monitoring; and as referring to cardiovascular stability : blood pressure & heartrate) and feasibility (as referring to temperature characteristics) of brain cooling during TAVI (cerebral (or tympanic) cooling rate, differential tympanic-rectal cooling rate, rectal cooling rate, time needed to obtain tympanic temperature below 34°)

Patients will be monitored with FORE-SIGHT cerebral oximeter (regional cerebral oxygen saturation, sensors placed on patient's forehead) and BIS VISTA (bilateral continuousEEG).

Tympanic temperature will be measured every 5 minutes while oesophageal and blood temperature will be continuously measured.

- Neuromonitoring (Fore-Sight, Bispectral Index (BIS) Vista) will be started before induction of anesthesia and cooling

- Transnasal cooling will be started after induction of anesthesia until a target tympanic temperature of 34°C

- Core temperature will not be monitored by esophageal (caveat interaction TEE probe), but by rectal and blood temperature

- TAVI-procedure will be started at a tympanic temperature of 34°C

- Arterial CO2 tension (PaCO2) will be checked every 30 minutes intra-operatively (target=normocapnia) by arterial blood gas analysis to maintain strict normocapnia

- and the end of the TAVI-procedure, patient will be rewarmed at a max rate of 0.8°/h by total body bair hugger

- when patient reaches tympanic and systemic (rectal) temperature of 35.5°C, extubation can be performed ;
