Clinical implications and feasibility of cerebral autoregulation-based precision blood pressure monitoring in major noncardiac surgery: A protocol for AUTOREGULATE-NONCARDIAC, a multicentre prospective cohort study and peri-operative precision medicine platform

Eur J Anaesthesiol Intensive CarePublished Prospective cohort study

Study context

Population
Adults ≥45 years at cardiovascular risk undergoing elective major noncardiac surgery with invasive blood pressure (BP) monitoring, surgical time ≥90 min, postoperative hospital stay ≥1 night; 3 Swiss tertiary care centres
Exposure
Intra-operative BP excursions below the lower level of cerebral autoregulation (near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-based cerebral autoregulation (cAR) monitoring) and organ injury
Outcome
Composite of:
  • Peri-operative myocardial injury
  • Peri-operative AKI
Follow-up
Postoperative days 1 to 3
Methodological detailsprotocol, multicentre, Secondary outcome: composite of major cardiovascular, renal and neurological complications up to 1 year (acute coronary syndrome, acute congestive HF, coronary revascularisation, stroke, new or progressive CKD, new need for RRT, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality)
  • Protocol
  • Multicentre
  • Secondary outcome: composite of major cardiovascular, renal and neurological complications up to 1 year (acute coronary syndrome, acute congestive HF, coronary revascularisation, stroke, new or progressive CKD, new need for RRT, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality)
