Cerebral Autoregulation and Delirium Study (AUTO-POD)

2026年6月22日 更新者:University Health Network, Toronto

Reducing Delirium After Cardiac Surgery: Personalized Targeted Blood Pressure Management Strategy Using Cerebral Autoregulation Monitoring: A Pilot Study

Approximately one in four elderly patients develops postoperative delirium (POD) after cardiac surgery. POD is associated with prolonged hospitalization, increased mortality, and higher health care costs. While patient-related risk factors are often difficult to modify, surgery- and anesthesia-related factors may be optimized to reduce the incidence of POD. One potentially modifiable factor is intraoperative blood pressure management. Current practice commonly relies on standardized blood pressure targets during cardiac surgery; however, this "one-size-fits-all" approach may not account for individual variability in cerebral perfusion requirements. This study proposes a personalized blood pressure management strategy based on real-time monitoring of cerebral autoregulation, with the goal of maintaining optimal cerebral perfusion and protecting the brain from both hypo- and hyper-perfusion

详细说明

The primary aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a subsequent definitive trial by assessing recruitment rates, protocol adherence, and the completeness and quality of short-term outcome data collection. The pilot study will also provide an opportunity to identify potential challenges and optimize the design of the larger trial, if necessary.

If the study hypothesis is confirmed and subsequently reproduced in larger, rigorous clinical trials, the findings could have important implications for intraoperative blood pressure management in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Specifically, this research may support a transition from the current "one-size-fits-all" blood pressure management strategy toward an individualized, real-time approach guided by cerebral autoregulation monitoring. Such a personalized strategy could potentially reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) in this high-risk population.

Conversely, premature implementation of personalized blood pressure management based solely on the currently available preliminary evidence may lead to unintended adverse consequences. Therefore, the proposed pilot study is essential to provide critical feasibility and safety data before proceeding to a larger definitive trial.

This study will be conducted as a prospective, single-centre, randomized controlled clinical trial comparing a real-time cerebral autoregulation monitoring-based blood pressure management strategy with standard care. Participants will be randomized into two groups:

Intervention Group: Blood pressure management guided by real-time cerebral autoregulation monitoring.

Control Group: Standard intraoperative blood pressure management according to current institutional practice.

实验性的:Intervention Group:

Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive individualized intraoperative blood pressure management guided by real-time cerebral autoregulation monitoring to protect against both hypo- and hyper-cerebral perfusion.

Cerebral autoregulation will be assessed using the cerebral blood volume reactivity index (VRx), defined as the Pearson correlation coefficient between blood volume index (BVI) and mean arterial pressure (MAP). The lower and upper limits of autoregulation will be identified as the MAP values at which VRx exceeds 0.3.

If VRx remains outside the autoregulatory range for more than 60 seconds, the anesthesiologist may intervene to restore MAP within the individualized autoregulatory zone. The type and sequence of interventions will be at the discretion of the attending anesthesiologist.

bilateral Mespere NeuroOs cerebral oximeter sensors will be placed on the fronto-temporal area on the fronto-temporal area of all patients.
有源比较器:Control Group:
In the control group, the cerebral oximetry monitor will be electronically blinded, although data will be continuously recorded for subsequent analysis. Intraoperative blood pressure management will follow current institutional standard practice at the discretion of the attending anesthesiologist.
bilateral Mespere NeuroOs cerebral oximeter sensors will be placed on the fronto-temporal area on the fronto-temporal area of all patients.
