Non-invasive Measurement of Regional Intracerebral Tissue Oxygenation in Elective Cardiac Surgeries

NCT01412619 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2011-12-29

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients after cardiac surgical operations often exhibit neuropsychological complications. In particular, the post-operative delirium is associated with a significantly increased morbidity and mortality.

Intracerebral microembolization in addition to inadequate cerebral perfusion during surgery was verified as the main cause of this.

The aim of the study is to demonstrate a correlation between intraoperative low measured cerebral oxygen levels and a loss neurological outcome, especially the development of postoperative delirium, using non-invasive cerebral oximetry (RSO2).
