nirsThe cerebral oxymetry saturation was monitored continuously, using a non-invasive method. The cerebral saturation was monitored intraoperatively with near infrared spectroscopy (INVOS 4100; Somanetics Inc, Troy, MI). Data acquired from the device were automatically and continuously recorded in 10-second intervals throughout the anaesthesia. A lead for the cerebral saturation monitoring was placed on degreased skin on the patient's forehead, on the right side, some 1 cm over the eyebrow. The baseline value was determined before induction of anaesthesia. The following criteria were accepted as significant reduction of the cerebral oxygenation (saturation) value: reduction of the cerebral oxymetry by over 25% in relation to the baseline; the absolute value of cerebral oxymetry below 50%.
cognitive functionUpon the day preceding the actual surgery, and again at 5 days after the surgery, the Mini Mental State Examination test was completed, with a view to assessing the chang-es in the patients' cognitive function. The difference between score in Mini Mental State Examination higher than 2 points defined a diagnosis of cognitive dysfunction.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. cerebral saturation

    decreases in cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) during the surgery

    Measured: every 5 minutes throughout the surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the Mini Mental State Examination test

    to assessing the changes in the patients' cognitive function

    Measured: Baseline, 4 day after surgery

No: 1. The day before the surgery will be performed basic blood tests (morphology, gas analysis) and test "Short Scale Mental State Examination." 2. During the operation, in addition to standard monitoring the electrical activity of the heart, blood pressure and peripheral oxygen saturation levels, will be assessed non-invasively cerebral oximetry. 3. When during general anesthesia bradycardia occurs, then half of the patients in this group will be set up into the esophagus electrode, which will provide the ability to route atrial pacing hemodynamically optimal heart rate (80 / min). However, in the second half of the patients at the time of the occurrence of bradycardia is given intravenously at a dose of atropine 0.5 mg. 4. In about two hours after the surgery will be taken blood tests (morphology + gas analysis) to determine the potential impact of intraoperative bleeding changes oximetry. 5. On postoperative day 5 will be repeated test "Short Scale Mental State Examination"

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Surgical Complications From General Anesthesia and Cerebral Ischemia, run by Jagiellonian University at 1 site in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cerebral saturation (time frame: every 5 minutes throughout the surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 May 2017.
