Background: Perioperative strokes may promote postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction. This study thus evaluated the incidence of postoperative strokes and the association between strokes and postoperative neurocognitive outcomes in older patients recovering from noncardiac surgery.
Methods: The Postoperative Covert Stroke and Cognitive Dysfunction among Elderly Patients Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery study (PRECISION) was a two-center prospective cohort study evaluating patients aged 60 yr or older who had elective, noncardiac inpatient surgery at two Chinese academic centers.
Backgrounds: The cerebral oximetry index (CO) uses near-infrared spectroscopy to estimate cerebral autoregulation during cardiac surgery. However, the relationship between intraoperative loss of cerebral autoregulation and postoperative delirium or stroke remains unclear in patients recovering from carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
Methods: Our prospective observational cohort study enrolled patients scheduled for CEA.
Aims: To investigate the association between intraoperative hypotension and newly developed cerebral infarction in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) undergoing aneurysm clipping or coiling.
Methods: The patients who had emergent clipping/coiling procedures for aSAH under general anesthesia were included. The major exposure was mean arterial pressure (MAP) below different absolute or relative thresholds characterized by area under curve (AUC), duration, and time-weighted average (TWA) value.
Background: The efficacy of superficial cervical plexus blocks for reducing persistent pain after craniotomies remains unclear. The authors tested the primary hypothesis that preoperative ultrasound-guided superficial cervical plexus blocks reduce persistent pain 3 months after suboccipital craniotomies.
Methods: A single-center randomized and blinded parallel-group trial was conducted.
