Postoperative Cognitive Decline

Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) refer to cognitive decline identified in the preoperative or postoperative period. It has been reported that the incidence of postoperative neurocognitive impairment after noncardiac surgery in patients older than 65 at 1 week was 25.8∼41.4%, and at 3 months 9.9∼12.7%. PNDs will last months or even develop to permanent dementia, leading to prolonged hospital stays, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality within 1 year. Despite the high incidence and poor prognosis of PNDs in the aged population, no effective clinical prediction model has been established to predict postoperative cognitive decline preoperatively. To develop a clinical prediction model for postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction, a prospective observational study (Clinical trial registration number: ChiCTR2000036304) will be performed in the Shanghai General Hospital during January 2021 to October 2022. A sample size of 675 patients aged &#x3e;65 years old, male or female, and scheduled for elective major noncardiac surgery will be recruited. A battery of neuropsychological tests will be used to test the cognitive function of patients at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. We will evaluate the associations of PNDs with a bunch of candidate predictors including general characteristics of patients, blood biomarkers, indices associated with anesthesia and surgery, retinal nerve-fiber layer thickness, and frailty index to develop the clinical prediction model by using multiple logistic regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and the selection operator (LASSO) method. The <i>k</i>-fold cross-validation method will be utilized to validate the clinical prediction model. In conclusion, this study was aimed to develop a clinical prediction model for postoperative cognitive dysfunction of old patients. It is anticipated that the knowledge gained from this study will facilitate clinical decision-making for anesthetists and surgeons managing the aged patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.

AbstractThe use of intravenous bisphosphonates has been linked to hypocalcemia both in children and adults with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The aims of this study were: (1) to investigate the incidence of hypocalcemia in the first 48 hours (T48) after neridronate infusion in a pediatric population with OI and (2) to assess any correlation between the baseline values of calcium, vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) and bone turnover markers, and the postinfusion calcium values. We conducted a prospective observational study on 37 pediatric patients. All patients were treated with a single infusion of neridronate at a dose of 1 to 2 mg/kg. The study provided two postinfusion reassessments: 24 hours (T24) and T48 after neridronate administration. Hypocalcemia was observed in 11% of patients at T24 and in 50% of patients at T48 from neridronate infusion. We observed a positive linear correlation between the baseline vitamin D values and postinfusion calcium values, both at baseline and at T24 and T48. Hypocalcemia was mild and asymptomatic in all cases. Postinfusion calcium levels were related to baseline vitamin D levels. Consequently, low vitamin D levels should be considered a significant risk factor for hypocalcemia and should be carefully investigated and treated before neridronate infusion.

Abstracts Background Patient outcomes are influenced by intraoperative temperature management. Oesophageal/pharyngeal temperature monitoring is the standard of care at our institute but is not well tolerated in awake patients. Many non-invasive temperature monitors have been studied. Only the TraxIt® Wearable Children’s Underarm Thermometer which contains liquid crystals that undergo phase changes according to temperature is available at our institution. We tested these non-invasive monitors against our standard of care which is the oesophageal/pharyngeal temperature monitor. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study of 100 patients receiving general anaesthesia for elective surgery. Patients were eligible for inclusion if they were ≥ 18 years old, were planned to have a general anaesthetic > 60 min during which no body cavity (chest or abdomen) would be opened. Patient temperature was measured with an oesophageal/pharyngeal thermistor probe and skin surface temperature monitors placed over the forehead, in the axilla, over the sternum, and behind the ear (over major vessels to the brain). Temperatures were recorded and then analysed using Altman-Bland plots. Pre-determined clinically relevant limits of agreement were set at −/+ 0.5 °C. Results From the 100 patients we collected 500 data points for each monitor with an average monitoring time of 102 min (30–300 min) across a range of surgical procedures. None of the skin surface temperature monitors achieved the pre-determined limits of agreement and results were impacted by the use of a forced air warmer. Conclusion The TraxIt® Wearable Children’s Underarm Thermometers are not suitable for temperature monitoring during general anaesthesia.
