Cerebral Desaturation and Postoperative Dysfunction After Thoracic Surgery

Completed
Conditions
Thoracic Surgery
Cognitive Dysfunction
Registration Number
NCT03805880
Lead Sponsor
University of Roma La Sapienza
Brief 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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
incidence of cognitive dysfunction after thoracic surgerychange of MMSE score from the day before surgery (baseline) at 1 day after surgery

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

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
role of cerebral oxygen desaturations as risk factors for POCD in patients undergoing lung resection.change of cerebral saturation from baseline(before surgery) at intraoperative measure

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

role of hypertension as risk factors for POCD in patients undergoing lung resection.change of blood pressure from baseline(before surgery) at intraoperative measure

monitoring values of blood pressure during intraoperative period
