CAROTID ENDATORECTOMY AND GENERAL ANESTHESIA: Assessment and Evaluation of Cerebral Ischemic Damage With Clinical, Laboratory and Imaging Parameters

CAROTID ENDATORECTOMY AND GENERAL ANESTHESIA: Assessment and Evaluation of Cerebral Ischemic Damage With Clinical, Laboratory and Imaging Parameters: a Single-center, Prospective, Randomized, Comparative Clinical Study

This study is aiming to provide us with information about the neuroprotective effect of two commonly used anesthetic drugs, during carotid endarterectomy. A day before sugery, a brain MRI will be performed as well as a cognitive function assessment test. The day of the surgery each patient will receive anesthesia either by using intravenous anesthetic drug or an inhalation agent and during the intraoperative period, the Anesthesiologist will draw a small amount of blood in three different times in order to measure brain biomarkers. A day after the surgery, a second brain MRI will be performed as well as a second cognitive function assessment test and their results will be compared to the preoperative ones. The study will focus on whether there is a higher incidence of microischemic brain lesions shown in imaging tests or whether cognitive function is impaired postoperative or whether brain biomarkers indicating brain damage are elevayed with any of these drugs and thus conclude which one shows or not a neuroprotective effect, with the condition that no change in the regular anesthesia management was made and no danger was imposed on the patient.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure with special perioperative and postoperative requirements and potential major adverse events, which can occur rapidly and be life threatening, and compromise the functional and neuropsychiatric integrity of the patient. Stroke is the most frequent major complication both in the intraoperative and immediate postoperative period. The Anesthesiologist is required to ensure adequate cerebral circulation and oxygenation through the close regulation of hemodynamic parameters and the continuous monitoring of cerebral oximetry, with the aim of preventing the occurrence and establishment of cerebral ischemic lesions.

The purpose of this study is to compare two anesthetic drugs (propofol and sevoflurane) during the maintenance of anesthesia in terms of their potential neuroprotective effect, which will be documented through clinical (gross neurological examination and MoCA test), laboratory (neuronal specific enolase NSE and human calcium-binding protein S100B) and imaging (MRI-diffusion) tests, which have proved to have high sensitivity and specificity for the early detection of ischemic brain lesions and cognitive deficits.
