Study Overview

Brief Summary

The challenge of new recommendations and better adapted practices is pushing to operate patients who are getting older and more fragile. In this context, there is an inevitable increase in the risks associated with care and in particular perioperative neurological complications, of which postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is the most common.

The interest of perioperative cerebral monitoring and in particular electroencephalography (EEG) to reduce neurological and cognitive damage in surgery has been the subject of abundant research and corresponds to a crucial issue.

From the literature and preliminary results obtained in our clinical research unit, it appears that there is also a relationship between certain characteristics of the peroperative EEG (signal strength and burst suppression) and the occurrence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (PCOD).

In this context, quantitative analysis of the preoperative sleep EEG and the EEG obtained during general anesthesia could allow the identification of a simple to use biomarker of susceptibility or fragility. To our knowledge, there is no preoperative evaluation strategy using EEG analysis to detect a predisposition to POCD.

The main goal of this observational clinical study is to extend the traditional use of per-operative EEG with pre-operative and post-operative sleep EEG for the detection and prediction of early post-operative cognitive dysfunction.

Detailed Description

The interest of perioperative brain monitoring to reduce neurological and cognitive damage in surgery has been the subject of much research and corresponds to a crucial issue.

The notion of quantitative EEG covers all the electrical signal processing techniques (fast Fourier transformation, evoked potentials, EEG mapping, etc.) made possible through the digitization of EEG data and the development of software to process these signals. In this context, EEG-derived indices have been set up to monitor hypnosis during general anesthesia. Between 0 (deep hypnosis) and 100 (awakening), the Bispectral Index (BIS) integrates in its calculation the percentage of fast waves, the degree of wave synchronization and the periods of EEG suppression (or "Burst suppression") and allows an adaptation of the dosage of anesthetic products according to its value.

Avoiding too deep anesthesia through neuro-monitoring could help to reduce postoperative delirium by reducing the burst suppression pattern.

Pre-operative cognitive status assessment :

The investigators observe a great delay in the means implemented to have an objective evaluation of cognitive disorders in preoperative care.
