What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Multisite tissue oxygenation-guided careOther

    The following intervention algorithm is intended to be used as a guidance only. We emphasize the different aspects that can cause changes in SctO2/SstO2 in a systematic approach. We avoid recommending a concrete drug and method of dosing for a specific condition.

    Manage tissue perfusion Preload: overall picture including direct observation of the heart, findings of echocardiography, urine output, blood loss, labs results, HR, BP, PPV, SVV, fluid responsiveness (SV increase >/= 10% following 250 ml fluid bolus) Contractility: direct observation of the heart, findings of echocardiography Stroke volume and heart rate: important determinants of CO Systemic vascular resistance: important determinant of BP Regional vascular resistance: important determinant of tissue perfusion along with perfusion pressure Maintain autoregulation: normalize CO2, avoid potent vasodilators

    Manage arterial blood oxygen content

    Manage tissue metabolic activity

  • Usual careOther

    Usual care in this study means the standard perioperative care. Patients who are meant to receive usual care will receive both cerebral and muscular tissue oxygen saturation monitoring; however, the monitor screen will be covered and the monitoring data will not be used to guide clinical care.

Study groups in NCT04896736
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Multisite tissue oxygenation monitoring-guided careExperimentalDetails are as follows. • Monitoring: SctO2 monitored using two probes placed on left and right forehead. SstO2 monitored using one probe placed over the forearm brachioradialis muscle on the arm not used for non-invasive blood pressure monitoring. • Baseline: The first baseline is measured 12-48 hours before surgery, with the patient supine, awake, calm, eyes closed, and breathing room air or oxygen that is equivalent to the home oxygen rate for patients using home oxygen. * Goals: Maintain both SctO2 and SstO2 within 90-110% of the baseline level. * Trigger of intervention: SctO2/SstO2 outside of the 90-110% baseline range. * Diagnosis: * Care team: The caregivers providing SctO2/SstO2-guided care will be trained and given the opportunity to use the intervention protocol in at least 20 patients before the formal study. * Treatments: Refer to the algorithm to restore SctO2/SstO2 within 90-110% baseline range.
Receives: Other: Multisite tissue oxygenation-guided care
Usual careActive comparatorPatients in the control group will be managed by clinical staff according to usual care. Patients in this group will be monitored using the same tissue oximeter used in the intervention group; however, the screen will be covered by an opaque cloth to prohibit the care givers seeing the monitoring data. The same baseline measurements will be performed in patients allocated to the usual care group.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Composite complication

    The primary outcome is a collapsed (one or more) composite of the following complications with a Clavien-Dindo grade II or greater arising within 30 days of randomization (randomization and surgery are performed on the same day). The patient is regarded as having the event of composite complications if any of the following complications occur (i.e., yes); otherwise, the patient is regarded as not having the event of composite complications. The percentage of patients having the event of composite complications will be used in the primary analysis.

    • Brain complications (delirium, cognition decline, stroke);
    • Cardiac complications (non-fatal cardiac arrest, myocardial injury, heart failure, new-onset symptomatic ventricular arrhythmia);
    • Respiratory failure;
    • Renal complications (AKI stages II and III);
    • Infectious complications;
    • Death.

    Measured: from the day of surgery (i.e., day 0) until postoperative day 30 for a total of 31 days (individual components may vary)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Atrial fibrillation

    Atrial fibrillation

    A new diagnosis of AF per the current standard.

    Measured: from the day of surgery until postoperative day 30

  2. Postoperative delirium

    Postoperative delirium (assessed using CAM-ICU Worksheet for patients in PACU and ICU, or CAM for patients on the floor). The validated Chinese version will be used for assessment.

    Delirium will be formally assessed as early in the morning as practical and early evening for the initial five postoperative days while patients remain hospitalized because this approach will detect nearly all postoperative delirium. Observed daytime delirium will be recorded and considered as an outcome. Delirium will not be evaluated the evening after surgery because confusion might result from residual anesthetic effects.

    Measured: from postoperative day 1 throughout postoperative day 5

  3. Postoperative cognitive decline

    Postoperative cognitive decline (assessed using 30-points MoCA 7.1 version). The validated Chinese version will be used.

    MoCA evaluates multiple cognitive domains including executive function and is widely used. Validated versions of MoCA are available in many languages including Chinese and German. A decrease of ≥2 points is associated with cognitive decline based on formal neuropsychological testing and considered a clinically meaningful reduction.

    Measured: Assessed before surgery, on postoperative day 5 and 30

  4. Length of hospital stay

    Length of hospital stay in days

    Measured: from the day of surgery (day 0) until hospital discharge or until day 30, whichever occurs first

  5. Perioperative stroke

    Any stroke per current clinical diagnostic criteria arising during surgery or after surgery until postoperative day 30.

    Measured: Stroke will be assessed from the day of surgery throughout postoperative day 30

  6. Cardiac complications (one component of the primary outcome)

    Cardiac complications include:

    • non-fatal cardiac arrest (An absence of cardiac rhythm or presence of chaotic rhythm requiring any component of basic or advanced cardiac life support.)
    • myocardial injury (Myocardial injury is defined as any myocardial infarction (i.e., 4th Universal Definition of myocardial infarction32), or any elevated troponin judged to be due to myocardial ischemia (i.e. without evidence of a non-ischemic etiology, e.g. chronic elevation, pulmonary embolism, sepsis, cardioversion, others) that occurred with the first 30 days after surgery.)
    • heart failure (per current standard diagnostic criteria.)
    • new-onset symptomatic ventricular arrhythmia (per current standard diagnostic criteria.)

    Measured: from the day of surgery (i.e., day 0) until postoperative day 30 for a total of 31 days

  7. Respiratory failure (one component of the primary outcome)

    Respiratory failure is defined as the requirement of respiratory support (intubation, CPAP or BiPAP, or high-flow oxygen (>10 L/min)) for acute respiratory insufficiency for more than 6 hours after surgery.

    Measured: from the day of surgery (i.e., day 0) until postoperative day 30 for a total of 31 days

  8. Renal complications (one component of the primary outcome)

    Renal complications in this study refers to acute Kidney Injury stages II and III diagnosed using the Kidney Disease Improving Global Guidelines (KDIGO).

    Measured: from the postoperative day 1 until postoperative day 7 for a total of 7 days

  9. Infectious complications (one component of the primary outcome)

    Infectious complications include the following:

    • Surgical site infection (deep surgical site):
    • Surgical site infection (organ/space)
    • Pneumonia
    • Laboratory confirmed bloodstream infection
    • Infection, source uncertain
    • Sepsis Sepsis will be diagnosed per the Third International Consensus Definitions.38,39 The Task Force defines sepsis as a "life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated host response to infection." Clinical diagnosis of organ dysfunction requires a two-point increase in the Sequential [Sepsis-related] Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, starting the day after surgery and continuing throughout hospitalization as shown below (adopted from Singer38).

    Measured: from postoperative day 1 until postoperative day 30 for a total of 30 days
