Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients aged 18-80 scheduled for elective carotid endarterectomy with an ASA classification of II or III.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with preoperative cognitive impairment, a history of neurosurgery, or those on psychotropic medications may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the relationship between local cerebral oxygenation monitoring and the risk of postoperative stroke in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. It aims to implement a management strategy that utilizes real-time monitoring of cerebral oxygen index to optimize cerebral blood flow autoregulation during surgery. By evaluating the effectiveness of this approach, the study seeks to reduce the incidence of neurological complications following the procedure. The research focuses on patients scheduled for elective surgery and assesses their cerebral oxygen levels to guide hemodynamic management.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce the risk of postoperative strokes in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific approach of monitoring cerebral oxygenation in this context is novel, similar studies have shown promise in improving outcomes in surgical patients.
