Trial summary

The purpose of this study prospective observational study is to determine cognitive dysfunction incidence after thoracic surgery. We also evaluate evaluate the role of cerebral oxygen desaturations and hypertension as risk factors for post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in patients undergoing lung resection.

Official title: Cerebral Desaturation During One Lung-ventilation and Postoperative Dysfunction Afterthoracic Surgery: a Prospective Observational Study

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • cerebral desaturation monitoring and cognitive examinationDiagnostic test

    Before general anesthesia, continuous monitoring of cerebral oxygenation(rSO2) was started using an INVOS 5100 (Somaneic, Tro, MI) .Patient cognitive function was assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) on the day before surgery (baseline) and then after 1 day after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of cognitive dysfunction after thoracic surgery

    A decrease in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score > 2 points from baseline was defined as Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD)

    Measured: change of MMSE score from the day before surgery (baseline) at 1 day after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. role of cerebral oxygen desaturations as risk factors for POCD in patients undergoing lung resection.

    monitoring values of cerebral saturation during intraoperative period:Cerebral desaturation was defined as a reduction of rSO2 during OLV of more than 20% from the baseline value

    Measured: change of cerebral saturation from baseline(before surgery) at intraoperative measure

  2. role of hypertension as risk factors for POCD in patients undergoing lung resection.

    monitoring values of blood pressure during intraoperative period

    Measured: change of blood pressure from baseline(before surgery) at intraoperative measure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thoracic Surgery and Cognitive Dysfunction, run by University of Roma La Sapienza at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 inclusion and 9 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 16 Jan 2019. 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 Italy. 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?

incidence of cognitive dysfunction after thoracic surgery (time frame: change of MMSE score from the day before surgery (baseline) at 1 day after 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 16 Jan 2019.
