NCT01866657

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, randomized controlled pilot study of cerebral oximetry use in elderly patients undergoing thoracic surgical procedures that require the use of single lung ventilation. The hypothesis is that subjects randomized to open cerebral oximetry monitoring that have active intervention to mitigate observed desaturations will have measurable postoperative clinical outcome benefits when compared to the patients randomized to blinded cerebral oximetry monitoring with no active interventions to mitigate desaturations.

Study Arms (2)

Intervention cohort

EXPERIMENTAL

Open cerebral oximetry monitoring; observed desaturations will be treated with an intervention algorithm including increase FiO2, head/neck repositioning,vasoconstrictor agents, IV fluid bolus, increase ETCO2, additional anesthesia, RBC transfusion.

Drug: Vasoconstrictor AgentsOther: Head/neck repositioningOther: Increase ETCO2Other: IV fluid bolusDrug: Additional anesthesiaBiological: RBC transfusionDrug: Increase FiO2

Blinded cerebral oximetry monitoring

NO INTERVENTION

These subjects will have continous cerebral oximetry monitoring like the experimental cohort but the values will be blinded to all clinicians and research staff. There will be no cerebral desaturation interventions in this group because the clinicians will not be aware of a desaturation as the monitor's output is blinded in this group.

Interventions

cerebral desaturations may be treated with IV vasoactives to increase blood pressure or cardiac output at attending physician's descretion.

Also known as: phenylephrine, ephedrine, dopamine
Intervention cohort

Assure that arterial and venous neck blood flow is not obstructed related to patient positioning

Also known as: neck repositioning
Intervention cohort

Allow normalization or slight increase in end tidal CO2 to cause selective cerebral vasodilation and increased tissue blood flow/O2 delivery

Also known as: Normalize end tidal CO2
Intervention cohort

Administer IV fluids to increase preload and cardiac output

Intervention cohort

By deepening anesthetic there will be a decrease in cerebral metabolic oxygen consumption.

Also known as: sevoflurane, propofol
Intervention cohort
RBC transfusionBIOLOGICAL

By administering RBCs there will be a increase in intravascular volume and cardiac preload and an increase in oxygen carrying capacity

Intervention cohort

Increase FiO2 to improve oxygen delivery to tissue

Also known as: Increase fractional concentration of inspired oxygen
Intervention cohort
