About this study

Official title: NIRS-Based Cerebral Oximetry Monitoring in Elderly Thoracic Surgical Patients Undergoing Single Lung Ventilation Procedures: A Single Center, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Pilot Study Assessing the Clinical Impact of NIRS-Guided Intervention

This is a prospective, randomized controlled pilot study of cerebral oximetry use in elderly patients undergoing thoracic surgical procedures that require the use of single lung ventilation. The hypothesis is that subjects randomized to open cerebral oximetry monitoring that have active intervention to mitigate observed desaturations will have measurable postoperative clinical outcome benefits when compared to the patients randomized to blinded cerebral oximetry monitoring with no active interventions to mitigate desaturations.

Read the detailed description

Study Rationale The use of bi-frontal, near infrared spectrophotometry (NIRS) based cerebral oximetry monitoring has been demonstrated to result in improved clinical outcomes in both general surgery patients and cardiac surgical patients using prospective, randomized controlled trial methodology. Elderly thoracic surgical patients undergoing procedures that involve single lung ventilation may also stand to benefit from the application of intraoperative and early postoperative NIRS cerebral oximetry monitoring. Cerebral oximetry has not been established as a standard of care monitoring modality in this patient population, thus permitting the application of randomized, controlled testing methodology to assess the potential impact of this monitoring modality upon these patients.

Hypothesis and Objectives:

The primary hypothesis in this pilot study of elderly thoracic surgical patients undergoing procedures involving single lung ventilation (SLV) is that there will be a measurable and significant clinical benefit (as assessed by a broad range of postoperative clinical outcome measures) to the subjects randomized to the intervention cohort (open bi-frontal NIRS based cerebral oximetry monitoring with a standardized intervention protocol) vs. the control cohort (blinded bi-frontal NIRS based cerebral oximetry monitoring).

The primary objective of this pilot study is to identify the most relevant clinical outcome variables which significantly diverge as a result of being randomized to the intervention cohort vs. the control cohort so that a larger, multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial can be designed to further test the primary hypothesis as stated in the preceding section. The subsequent larger, multicenter trial will be conducted to definitively demonstrate the ability of INVOS® 5100 guided NIRS-based bi-frontal monitoring to improve clinical outcomes in this surgical patient group and potentially establish a new U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared indication for this monitoring modality. The clinical outcome variables being assessed as the primary objective are many and a detailed list of these variables can be found in the OUTCOME MEASURES - Primary Outcome Measure Section of this submission.

Secondary objectives of this pilot study include the following:

  1. Assess the frequency of cerebral desaturations in both the intervention and control cohorts by examining both the total number of patients experiencing any cerebral desaturation as well as the total number of events among patients experiencing any cerebral desaturation (of at least 5% below baseline and progressively larger desaturations). These analyses will be conducted on the entire study population as well as upon each cohort. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) analysis technique [incremental desaturation categories will be assessed based upon 5 to 50% decreases, measured in 5% increments, from established room air pre-incision baseline as well as oxygen supplemented pre-incision baseline as well as desaturations below absolute measured rSO2 values] will be employed to conduct these analyses.
  2. Assess the frequency of adverse clinical events and serious adverse events overall and in each cohort.
  3. Perform a comprehensive assessment of the frequency and efficacy of predefined rSO2 desaturation mitigation interventions and their collective ability to affect the observed cerebral oximetry values.
  4. Assess the interventional cohort's preoperative demographics and collected covariates for association with the ease or difficulty of mitigating observed cerebral desaturation events.

Exploratory analyses will include performing all possible comparisons of the two groups based upon all collected perioperative variables to examine the potentially significant relationships between the collected clinical variables representing surrogates of organ perfusion/function and cerebral oximetry desaturations (AUCrSO2). The following exploratory endpoints will be assessed:

  1. Logistic regression analysis to determine the most relevant AUCrSO2 desaturation value(s) associated with any detrimental clinical outcome(s) monitored in this study
  2. Logistic regression analysis to determine the most relevant AUC blood pressure values associated with any detrimental clinical outcome(s) monitored in this study
  3. Comparison of baseline rSO2 values (room air and oxygen supplemented) to all collected clinical variables to assess for possibly significant associations
  4. Explore the potential impact of rSO2 monitoring on changing the surgical conduct of the procedure Methodology: Single center, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical pilot study Number of Subjects: 100 subjects with balanced randomization (1:1) to control (blinded NIRS data) or intervention (open NIRS data) cohorts Main Criteria for Inclusion: Elderly patients (> 65 years of age) scheduled for a thoracic surgical procedure at UHCMC that will involve SLV.

Duration of Treatment: Cerebral oximetry monitoring will begin with an assessment of both room air and oxygen supplemented bi-frontal baseline NIRS values and continue through the surgery to either PACU discharge or the initial 12 hours of post surgical ICU treatment. Mini Mental Status exam testing and Delirium testing with the Confusion Assessment Method will occur preoperatively and postoperatively through post-operative day (POD) #3 (or discharge if that occurs sooner than POD #3). Enrolled subjects will be followed during the index hospitalization and will undergo a 30 day follow up telephone interview to assess their progress following hospital discharge.

Criteria for Evaluation:

A large number of intraoperative and postoperative clinical variables that include cerebral oximetry, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, a composite outcome measure and clinical variables representing organ function will be assessed with the primary endpoint being the determination of which clinical variables are improved, if any, as a result of being randomized to open NIRS data monitoring with a predefined desaturation intervention algorithm guideline. The Mini Mental Status exam and Confusion Assessment Method test will be used to determine if any measured clinical variables have an effect upon neuropsychological outcomes. The frequency and effectiveness of the various cerebral desaturation mitigating interventions will be assessed in the intervention cohort.

Additional Safety Observations:

The frequency and severity of adverse clinical events and serious adverse clinical events will be assessed to determine if the use of open NIRS data bi-frontal cerebral monitoring is associated with any significant change in the observation of such events.

Statistical Methods:

Preoperative demographics and clinical variables will be compared in the two groups to assess for significant differences using the independent t-test. Differences in the observed clinical data between groups will be determined with the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Stepwise, forward, multivariable logistic regression analysis will be performed to assess for relationships between cerebral desaturations and any of the measured clinical variables with a p value < 0.05 being considered significant

Intervention cohortExperimentalOpen cerebral oximetry monitoring; observed desaturations will be treated with an intervention algorithm including increase FiO2, head/neck repositioning,vasoconstrictor agents, IV fluid bolus, increase ETCO2, additional anesthesia, RBC transfusion.
Receives: Drug: Vasoconstrictor Agents; Other: Head/neck repositioning; Other: Increase ETCO2; Other: IV fluid bolus; Drug: Additional anesthesia; Biological: RBC transfusion; Drug: Increase FiO2
Blinded cerebral oximetry monitoringNo interventionThese subjects will have continous cerebral oximetry monitoring like the experimental cohort but the values will be blinded to all clinicians and research staff. There will be no cerebral desaturation interventions in this group because the clinicians will not be aware of a desaturation as the monitor's output is blinded in this group.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Assess the Frequency of Cerebral Desaturations in Both Cohorts by Examining Both the Total Number of Patients Experiencing Any Cerebral Desaturation as Well as the Total Number of Events Among Patients Experiencing Any Cerebral Desaturation.

    Assess the frequency of cerebral desaturations in both the intervention and control cohorts by examining both the total number of patients experiencing any cerebral desaturation as well as the total number of events among patients experiencing any cerebral desaturation.

    Measured: one year

  2. Adverse Clinical Events and Serious Adverse Events Overall and in Each Cohort

    Assess the frequency of adverse clinical events and serious adverse events overall and in each cohort

    Measured: one year

  3. Perform a Comprehensive Assessment of the Frequency and Efficacy of Predefined rSO2 Desaturation Mitigation Interventions and Their Collective Ability to Affect the Observed Cerebral Oximetry Values.

    Perform a comprehensive assessment of the frequency and efficacy of predefined rSO2 desaturation mitigation interventions (e.g., increase MAP with IV vasoconstrictor or fluid bolus, normalize ETCO2, deepen anesthesia, etc.) and their collective ability to affect the observed cerebral oximetry values. This will allow determination of the average number of interventions required and those most commonly effective in mitigating desaturation.

    Measured: one year

  4. Assess the Interventional Cohort's Preoperative Demographics and Collected Covariates for Association With the Ease or Difficulty of Mitigating Observed Cerebral Desaturation Events.

    Because mitigating cerebral desaturations involves increasing oxygen delivery to the tissue it is possible that there is a relationship between preoperative demographic/variables such as age, peripheral vascular disease, left ventricular dysfunction, COPD, etc. and the ability to effectively mitigate desaturations in that subjects with disease in these organ systems may be more resistant to responding to desaturation interventions.

    Measured: one year
