CEReBral AutorEgulation in Non-cardiac SuRgery and Relationship to Postoperative DeliriUm State - CERBERUS Trial
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn the how to determine the mean arterial pressure(MAP) or blood pressure level to be maintained during non-cardiac surgery for optimal brain health in patients above the age of 60 undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Is there a way to tailor the blood pressure to be maintained in such patients during surgery for optimal brain health using non-invasive monitors that check the brains electrical activity, the electroencephalogram(EEG) monitor, and the brain's blood oxygen levels, the cerebral oximetry(CO) monitor? * How much does this optimal blood pressure level vary between patients? Participants will be asked to: * Complete a questionnaire at the time they enroll into the study, as well as a daily questionnaire to help determine their level of thinking and brain health. This questionnaire will be administered by a member of the study team. * They will also have an EEG and CO monitoring sticker placed on their foreheads. This will be connected to a monitor that will collect this data just before, during, and after their surgery. The data collected through these monitors will help us with our study goals.
Description
Study Procedures: Pre-operative: 1. Assessment by an anesthesiologist, and brief patient education about cerebral autoregulation and post-operative delirium. 2. MOCA baseline cognitive assessment by study team member. Intra-operative: 1. Perioperative EEG Monitoring: EEG stickers will be applied to patient's forehead in pre-op holding area and attached to SedLine Root Monitor (described below in perioperative EEG and Cerebral Oximetry10 (CO) monitoring) at least 5 minutes prior to start of induction. 2. Perioperative CO monitoring: NIRS stickers will be applied to patient's forehead in pre…
