NCT01835327

Brief Summary

The current study proposes to address the question of whether patients' cerebral oxygen saturation levels are predictive of their recovery from thoracic surgery. Further, the study poses the hypothesis that a patient's poor recovery status goes on to increase a patient's risk of developing post-operative morbidities such as pneumonia, arrhythmias and delirium. The aim of this study is to address the observation that some patients struggle more than others in their recovery and that 1) this may be a result of intraoperative cerebral oxygen desaturations and 2) that this may affect their post-operative morbidity. If a potential means of predicting poor outcomes is identified this will lead to further research into how to adjust the associated variables, such as cerebral oxygenation, to improve patient post-operative outcome.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Post-Operative Quality of Recovery Score (PQRS)

    Patients are assessed 30 minutes, one hour, and three hours post extubation time on day of surgery and then once daily for however long they are hospitalized up to 14 days, patients are then assessed via phone at one month and three months post-op. Recovery is assessed via questions on multiple domains such as pain and nausea, emotional status, activities of daily living and cognitive status.

    up to 3 months

  • Post-Operative Morbidity Survey (POMS) Score

    The POMS score measures morbidity across multiple categories with pre-defined thresholds, example: Pulmonary (de novo requirement of oxygen supplementation), Infectious (fever above 38C or require antibiotics) etc.

    Post-Operative day 3

  • Post-Operative Morbidity Survey (POMS) Score

    The POMS score measures morbidity across multiple categories with pre-defined thresholds, example: Pulmonary (de novo requirement of oxygen supplementation), Infectious (fever above 38C or require antibiotics) etc.

    Post-Operative day 5

  • Post-Operative Morbidity Survey (POMS) Score

    The POMS score measures morbidity across multiple categories with pre-defined thresholds, example: Pulmonary (de novo requirement of oxygen supplementation), Infectious (fever above 38C or require antibiotics) etc.

    Post-Operative day 8

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Cognitive Assessment Method

    up to 14 days

Study Arms (2)

Exposed

Cerebral oximetry desaturation below 65% for a minimum of 3 minutes

Not Exposed

Those patients who do not experience a cerebral oxygen desaturation below 65% for a minimum of 3 minutes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Anticipated inclusion is all patients scheduled for thoracic surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital by the aforementioned surgeons Dr. Flores and Dr. Kaufman. Exclusion criteria will be those patients who (1) do not speak English, (2) are less that the age of 18 years old, (3) are currently prisoners, (4) do not display the capacity to consent to the trial and (5) who are unwilling to complete the study. Screening for exclusion criteria will occur primarily in the pre-operative setting under the guidance of Drs. Flores and Kaufman and will be reviewed by the Research Coordinator and acting anesthesiologist on the day of surgery.

You may qualify if:

  • speak English
  • yo or older
  • willing to participate
  • undergoing thoracic surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital that will require one lung ventilation

You may not qualify if:

  • prisoners
  • lack capacity to consent to trial
