Preoperative cerebral oxygenation in high-risk noncardiac surgical patients: an observational study on postoperative mortality and complications
Authors' conclusion
Preoperative rScO2 is not associated with postoperative complications in patients undergoing high-risk noncardiac surgery.
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing high-risk noncardiac surgery126 analysed
- Participants
- 130 patients
- Outcome
- 30-day mortality
- Follow-up
- 30 days
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Died within 30 postoperative days
6
4.76%
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Secondary outcomes
Postoperative myocardial injury, respiratory complications, renal failure
- Major postoperative complications
- 32 (25.4%)
- No significant association between rScO2 and secondary endpoints
ICU admission
- Admitted to the ICU
- 95 (75.4%)
Determinants of rScO2
- O2 supplementation induced a significant increase of rScO2
- Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration correlated with rScO2; body position affected rScO2
- No significant association between rScO2 and NYHA, LVEF or MET classes
